I've had a a situation in the past that required this same application. I ended up using amavisd-new with custom views for incoming and outgoing mail. For spam originating from inside, it was dropped completely, for spam originating from the outside, subject was rewritten.
This is just an SMTP solution and has no applicability to the problem at hand. Thanks anyway, Hank Nussbacher http://www.interall.co.il

Nothing came about from that thread. I have an ISP that *wants* to stop the outgoing spam on an automatic basis and be a good netizen. I would have hoped that 4 years later there would be some technical solution from some hungry startup. Perhaps I have missed it. What I have found so far is: Detecting Outgoing Spam and Mail Bombing http://www.brettglass.com/spam/paper.html SMTP based mitigation - thing on HTTP/HTTPS Stopping Outgoing Spam http://research.microsoft.com/~joshuago/outgoingspam-final-submit.pdf Research paper - nothing practical Throttling Outgoing SPAM for Webmail Services http://www.ceas.cc/papers-2005/164.pdf Research paper - nothing practical ISPs look inward to stop spam - Network World http://www.networkworld.com/news/2004/071204carrispspam.html Bottom line - no solution So I am trying once again. Hopefully someone has some magic dust this time around.
