Fixes:
- Attachment without extension was blocked by rules using 'All except' file type option even though file type was detected through attachment content
- FIX: If quarantined malware\content filtering item was opened to view its details, it’s respective file on disk was not deleted when item is approved or deleted
- FIX: Use of Switchboard to move GFI MailEssentials virtual directories to a different site did not move the SpamTag virtual directory
- Tagging not performed on email forwarded through global actions
- POP2Exchange crashed when downloading email containing empty body text
- On Microsoft Exchange 2013, outbound emails which were processed by disclaimers are shown without the paper clip icon in Microsoft Outlook
- Configuration reported 'License key is invalid' due to timeout when querying Active Directory containing thousands of users
- Recipient spam digest not being sent to recipients on Microsoft IIS only environments
- The Attachment Checking 'BlockFiles_ViaExtAssociations' registry setting was not being used by the attachment checking functionality
- The GFI MAX MailProtection\MailEdge IP address list was not always retrieved successfully, causing emails to still be filtered for spam
- Report writing module stopped processing items when an entry could not be written to database, and this eventually led to processing of emails to fail
- Spam digest was only being sent to first 1000 users enumerated from Active Directory
- Report writing failed during writing of email details due to duplicate email addresses
- If login to configuration is done without 'domain\' format and log in fails, the default domain is prepended to username
