Very briefly: Thomas Wouters and I talked a bit about this at Pycon. 
What I think we want to do is to apply all the tests on a message and
keep track of all the results.  Right now, the first test match
short-circuits the rest of the tests.

Once we've done that, then we want to have a way for a list admin to
build a ruleset for how the tests should map into one of the following
states: accept, hold, reject, discard, defer.  Defer would mean to apply
the next rule in the ruleset, while the others are terminal states.

When a held message is shown to the moderator, they get to (perhaps
optionally) see the complete match results for the message.  So you
might see e.g. implicit-destination, non-member-post, max-size.

Spambayes filtering would simply be another test to apply.
