If you use qmail-scanner to tag the spam, then my extension to 
qmail-scanner may help you... it can be used to filter out spam for 
non-local accounts (where you can't use .qmail or procmail to process 
the mails)... it could be easily modified to fit your needs.

Since 0401 (maybe earlier, don't remember) it's possible to check the 
user at smtp level before it gets queued (look for RCPTCHECK in the 
docs). This solves the "user doesn't exist" double bounces, or better, 
it's not your problem anymore ;-)
