The FAQ suggests /etc/tcp.smtp, I use /etc/tcprules/smtp, there doesn't
appear to be a solid standard on this issue. You'll have to follow your
startup files to find it, I would guess. Try "ps ax | grep tcpserver"
and look at the -x parameter. We'll take mine as an example,

$ cd /etc/tcprules
$ vi smtp
$ tcprules smtp.cdb smtp.tmp < smtp

is how you would edit the rules and rebuild them.
