rules folder changing?

[Sarah Michaelson - Way to the Web Ltd]

If you are using our cPanel MailScanner Front-End, there is a back-end 
script (/usr/mscpanel/mscpanel.pl) that runs nightly to update the rules 
files based on the settings in the WHM and cPanel front-ends. In general 
if you're using our cPanel MailScanner Front-End you shouldn't modify 
the rules files manually but do it via the front-end. If you need 
further assistance with the front-end feel free to submit a ticket on 
our helpdesk (https://support.configserver.com/) or post on our 
community forums (http://forum.configserver.com/)
