Format of rules file

The server configuration file (a.k.a rules file) is a text file that the server reads at program startup and contains commands (rules) that customize the server operation for a particular environment. A rule consists of 1-7 tokens separated by a single semi-colon or a logical line break (a maximum of 8 rules/logical line). You may concatenate several text lines (file records) into a single logical line by placing a backslash as the last character on lines you wish to continue.
