Boy do you breathe loudly :)

How did you make the change? You should have created
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/spool/smtpd/etc/smtpd_check_rules/
Then in that directory, created your rules with the appropriate file
names, eg
17local-rules-hacked-by-dean
and then run
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /var/spool/smtpd/etc/smtpd_check_rules
Then the next time smtpd was started, it would have honoured your new
rules.
