rules folder changing?

[Sarah Michaelson - Way to the Web Ltd]

You don't actually edit the rules files via the front-end. Where to find 
it in the front-end depends on exactly what you want to do. Since this 
is not actually a MailScanner issue or question it seems better to take 
this discussion to our helpdesk or forum, where we would be happy to 
help. Thanks.
