My site, SocialToo.com will do this for you - we provide filters and such to keep out auto-dms as well. If you'd like to offer it to your users let me know and we can work something out that works out seamlessly for you. Also, yesterday we just launched an anti-virus/anti-worm solution that, regardless of auto-follow will keep out the DMs from your friends with malicious links in them, and reports them to @spam on Twitter. Contact me if you'd like to integrate any of this into your apps. I'd like to get this into more desktop clients so we can proactively keep out the malicious links and compromised accounts from Twitter.
