You should check on the qmail lists, but IIRC qmail doesn't have the
ability to do the sort of processing you want during SMTP sessions.
Postfix does, which may be a sufficient reason to switch over if you're
going to use catch-all addresses.

Another option may be to put all your catch-all mail into a non-TMDA
protected inbox, and only run mail to known addresses through TMDA.
You'll get more spam that way, but you'll avoid Joe-jobbing someone
else; and let's be honest: 99% of traffic coming to a catch-all address
is going to be spam anyway.

SPF isn't an anti-spam measure; it only protects against Joe-jobs.
