rules files -> rules files

Julian, thanks for the idea of using the CustomConfig.pm...I'll have to take
a look.

I'm not sure I understand (don't intend to be obtuse)...is there a place
where I can craft a single large ruleset for a domain and include all of the
pertinent config parameters for that domain?  I have simply been pointing
MailScanner.conf to rules files for each parameter and making changes for
each domain within each rules file...sounds like there may be an easier
way!?

Sorry if I've missed something.
