Performancewise, it might even be faster to read from SQL than reading 
from maybe tens or hundreds of rules files.

MailScanner would only read at start and reloads, as it does now, for a 
default system SQLite would be just as performant or better than any 
file system. here's not extra engine required and its already used by 
MailScanner for caching so a requirement to setup MS anyway.
