First let me state that I agree with most of your "restrictive" policies
on IMGate.  That was the management's word and their decision.  They
didn't like the way it failed a message for a single RBL hit, and the
other things that generally make it hard to pass spam through IMGate.
We had several "good" emails get blocked altogether by IMGate, rather
than weighted by Declude, which is our preference.

The IMGate policies aren't "restrictive" in a pejorative sense, or
IMGate wouldn't have been so successful for the last 5 years.

A few IMGate MXs do have to deal with unusually large numbers of legit
but screwed up MTAs and DNSs (there is still an amazing amount of SMTP
and DNS incompetence), so it's simpler to relax/remove a couple filters
to let those screwed up legits through, but the vast majority of IMGate
policies work for nearly everybody.
