smapd, procmail, and sendmail for hub filtering

In light of the recent email worms, I'd like to be able to filter out stuff like attachments on my sendmail gateway. All solutions point to procmail, however they all use it as the local delivery mechanism. However, my sendmail server doesn't have any mailboxes on it, as it accepts the mail from the world and then resends it to internal machines based on the domain (ie mailertables and MX), so I can't use the local delivery feature. The example in the procmail manpage for my configuration requires an explicit domain, so it's only good for incoming mail and the domains are static. What I thought was to use smap to accept the mail, and then smapd would pipe it through procmail which could filter and then pipe through sendmail (instead of directly through sendmail). Has anyone done this or know of someone who has? Is there a better way of doing what I'm attempting?
