New in this Version

GUI: Context-Sensitive placement of Forms from menu Filter

Until now the setting for email, spam, virus and web content filter were found in the main menu Filter. With this update the menu Filter is obsolete and the forms are now located in their related services. All the forms for the email security settings are now in Settings → Mail and Messaging → Mail Security. Regarding the settings for web content filtering, all forms are now in Settings → Networking → Web Security. The antivirus file scanning forms are now in Settings → Services → File-Shares.

Additional note that the settings for the virus scanners are no longer grouped by vendor. Instead they are now placed by vendor under their respective service.

Note: Please check the settings of the virus scanner once finished.
