My Declude config has grown since install.  I am curious if it is possible determine a Weight at which Declude ceases running tests on an email. 
 
    Say I have 40 tests and after Declude runs the first 10 of them it accumulates a score of 300.  I HOLD at 100.  Further testing beyond 300 uses additional resources to produce the same outcome with no additional benefits.  Resources including  processing, bandwidth, and un-needed additional queries to blacklist servers that are working hard to maintain their services.
 
    In this scenario the order that Declude ran your tests would be a factor.  You could place your tests in a specific order in the Declude config  so that primacy tests like Spamcop were first, and additional tests would only be run if needed.  Or you could run tests like Spamcheck, Badheaders, Helobogus first and be able to HOLD messages with a minimum or no external DNS queries.
