For Sendmail, take a look at spamass-milter. Unfortunately, you won't be saving any bandwidth by 5xx-ing the spam as you'll already have incurred the "spam tax" by receiving the entire message so that SA could take a look at it. The only use I can see with with setup would be to use data generated by SA to dynamically populate sendmail's access database. Does anyone here know how a zombie machine reacts to a 5xx reject? Since most spam now arrives via zombies, I'd think we'd want to be careful about possibly hosing some poor innocent's machine. 4xx-ing the messages (an old favourite of mine before the zombie technique) might cause all manner of grief (there's also teergrubing).
