Numerous changes regarding the database structure

The changes to the database structure make it necessary to adapt existing PowerShell scripts as well as SIEM systems (for example Splunk).

Action CSA Whitelist is now Action CSA Certified IP List

The action CSA Whitelist is now a filter and is called CSA Certified IP List.

The NoSpamProxy management console is now called NoSpamProxy Command Center

The NoSpamProxy Management Console/NoSpamProxy Management Console has been renamed NoSpamProxy Command Center and is no longer an MMC snap-in. Any configurations, e.g. if the MMC was previously installed remotely, are lost during the upgrade and must be reconfigured in the new application.

New folder for the NoSpamProxy Command Center

The NoSpamProxy Command Center creates a folder and files in the user profile at AppData\Roaming\NoSpamProxy. The configuration of the NoSpamProxy Command Center is saved here.

New network address for downloading AV patterns

A new network address is used to download AV patterns: https://av-patterns.nospamproxy.com/
