A simple case may be to just use cat to combine a bunch of files, just do
this on a regular basis.

eg.

cat /opt/MailScanner/etc/rules/spam.whitelist.rules.domain1
/opt/MailScanner/etc/rules/spam.whitelist.rules.domain2 >
/opt/MailScanner/etc/rules/spam.whitelist.rules

or

Use cpp to support includes...

cpp /opt/MailScanner/etc/rules/spam.whitelist.rules.src >
/opt/MailScanner/etc/rules/spam.whitelist.rules

The file spam.whitelist.rules.src can then include lines like:
#include "<filename>"

The trick is how often and when you run the script.

Good luck
