Andrew,
You would also need to lock the file so that the queue didn't steal it. You might be able to just simply rename the Q* file to get the same effect.
Pete's being a good friend of Declude by not suggesting a modification, but also a good friend of the user to recommend a much better solution that also brings with it the benefit of weighting, RBL's and other scoreable hits. If you already own Declude and are sticking with IMail, there is absolutely no reason to abandon it.
IMO, Ipswitch is about to change their tune on the matter of bundling after signs that they recognize the miscalculation in the response. A miscalculation of this magnitude however points to a more systematic problem, and their claim that service agreements are money losers for them is preposterous, and then to place the burden on the customer when your product is already premium priced is an indication of an organization in total disarray.

A poor man's way to run IMail and Message Sniffer without Declude could certainly be done without a massive re-write. I'm not going to claim that it would be *reliable* or *flexible* but you could certainly mimic what Declude does and change one registry key to have IMail call a batch file.
Then have your batch file call Message Sniffer, run through multiple "if errorlevel" statements, and take whatever action you deem appropriate, like moving the two message files to a quarantine or just deleting them. If a message passes, you call IMail's original executable (from the original registry entry) to deliver the message.
Sure, saying it is easier than doing it, but it is do-able.
As for me, I prefer to use Declude & Sniffer. A weighted system rocks.

p.s. Now, if SpamAssassin has a way to shell out to call Sniffer ... hmmmmm ...

Sniffer won't be making a direct connection to IMail because it won't be necessary. It is my understanding the Declude and mxGuard will continue to function with ICS just as they have. There is no good reason for us to duplicate that effort when such a fine job has already been done.
