I was talking to Will Whittaker (mock) at the last two YAPC::EUs[1]. He is
using mod_perl with Apache to do it (I don't think mod_smtpd is involved at
all). IIRC its still only being used internally[2], but has had a dramatic
impact on their bandwidth usage for receiving spam.

Some reference to it at http://use.perl.org/~barbie/journal/21075

[2] That is, the complete solution isn't public, but it does listen on
public facing ips and does collect real email.
