I've included a small .procmailrc file which does that below. You can
add additional checks, and then make your final disposition decision
based on how many "X-Spam" headers you end up with.
Good spam and procmail information can be found here:

J> ... it seems that procmail needs some tweaking to work with qmail.
I've never had a problem using qmail with procmail, delivering to a
regular mailbox. My ~/.qmail file looks like this:
| preline /usr/local/bin/procmail
If I want a copy of an outgoing message, I include the header
"Bcc: vogelke-bcc"
which makes use of the ~/.qmail-bcc file:
| (preline /bin/cat; echo) >> $HOME/mail/sentmail
This way, I see the actual message as created by qmail. I also like to
keep track of messages I've sent recently (even if I don't need a copy
of the whole thing), so I include the header
"Bcc: vogelke-header"
which makes use of the ~/.qmail-header file:
| (preline formail -XFrom: -XSubject: -XDate: -XTo: -XMessage-ID: ;
echo) >> $HOME/mail/SENT.`/bin/date +%Yw%W`
All on one line, of course.
