In Declude (for Imail) I can set it so if a message fails bl.spamcop.net it
would get a score/weight  of 5 then continue testing other rbls and such. if
all the tests have a certian score it will brutally delete the message.

Your saying that IMGate and Postfix  does not have this ability?  A third
party program would be required such as the Spam Assassin or Message Sniffer?
