Why would you want to accept the message and them process it? Keep using
chkuser to reject at the smtp level for "no such users" and setup
simscan to query spamassassin / clamav and also reject virus/spam at the
smtp level as well. This way the responsibility is back on the sending
server and not yours and they, not you will be likely to hit a spam trap
and end up in places such as SORBS, SPEWS and Spamcop etc.

Just my two cents worth, but is also how we do it and it works very
well.
