I personally agree with the second depending on the tests. My view is
why should I accept mail from people to don't setup their kit correctly?
Especially it is something they can easily fix. 

Like I say it depends on the test, but would like REJECT to be an open
with Imail/Declude.

That's my 2p anyway :)

There are two camps in the anti-spam effort.

One is that mail identified as spam is tagged and routed to the
recipients spam folder.

The other is simply rejecting the message at the mail server.

This last method saves server resources and disk space but risks
rejecting the occasional legitimate email (false positive) but a risk
they are willing to take in view of the volume of junk mail being
spewed.  (52% of all mail is blocked on our mail servers as spam or junk
mail and we receive email for 118 domains, filter it and then relay on
to their mail servers.)  With over 60,000 messages handles every day, we
have had to only whitelist 21 email addresses.
