2.16	Quarantine Upgrade tool

Starting from GFI MailSecurity 10 SR8, Quarantine information is stored in a Firebird database format instead of Microsoft Access database. For upgrades between version 9 and 10 and between previous builds of version 10 to GFI MailSecurity 10 SR8, the Quarantine upgrade tool automates to the migration of pre-existing quarantine data to the new Firebird database format.

NOTE: The old quarantine data will not be available until imported.
