Bulkiness detector like DCC as I said. Seen a spammer hit a formmail or
other insecure cgi? He'll pump a metric shitload of mail through it. DCC
should nail this every time.

Not really. It can use any damned MTA you like. Qmail or Postfix shouldnt
have any problems at all.
Just have a local delivery setup which points to procmail (using procmail as
the local delivery agent / LDA, or using a .forward mechanism). Procmail
should use the sendmail compatiblity interface just fine, like it uses the
actual sendmail.
