| The problem or feature of the current system seems to be that you don't | really know who the email is from. Received: and From: headers can be | faked, so that you really don't know that the listed location is the | true originating location. You can't reliably bounce an email or notify | a postmaster/abuse account because the email can't be linked back to the | originating location from the email alone.
If you run SA with exim + exiscan you can refuse spam messages during the SMTP session itself. In other words, your server gives a 5xx response after the DATA phase. For a legit message, the sender's MTA will generate a failure report "bounce" message going back to the sender. For spam, the spamware will likely ignore the error altogether. ( not that we care what it does ) I'm sorry I don't know whether this can be done with sendmail's milter interface.
