If you looking to make better condition for your "DNSBLs, RHSBLs, 
DCC/Pyzor/Razor", you have just to put every mail coming to your 
domain in some kind quarantine system for the same 2 hours and check 
this cage regulary. 

That's the *last* thing you want to do, because to do that, you have to send
that dreaded '250 OK' as a response to DATA to the remote end - and then you
get stuck with having to deal with bouncing to a possibly forged/bogus MAIL
FROM:.
I cannot agree with you. If you really trust into your anti-spam system, your 
just have to discard/bounce spam message with or without notification of 
target and/or source user.
 
When your system decide to reject message as it consider it as SPAM what 
would have to do remote system? Bah... exactly the same as that what you 
refusing to do: it will generate bounce.
 
I still have a lot of trouble to get why lot of peoples on this list try, in 
some 
way, to move there decision responsibility on remote system.
