For testing purposes, I want MailScanner to check these other RBL's and then quarantine the message. My users can then release the message if it is a false positive. Once satisfied with a list choice, I'll then move it to the MTA.

I find the best way to do the RBL's in spamassassin, they way it adds
to the score. You can you multiple RBLs in mailscanner and then say it
must at least 2 before it's marked as spam, but I prefer the
spamassassin way.
