That's not something I'll be able to knock out any time soon.  What
about the idea of using the spam headers to decide whether to send the
bounce message?

Since the bounce has to come back through the Mimedefang server, could
mimedefang-filter not detect that it's a bounce message, check the spam
score, and drop it on the floor if it's a spam?

That assumes, of course, that the spam headers are included in the
bounce message...
