Get qmailanalog http://cr.yp.to/qmailanalog.html. it will help you
crunch the multilog logs.
Or if you are good in perl, write a parser perl script that will extract
the requisite information.

Based on my recollection as to your setup the answer is no there is no
existing script that will take the output of a non-modified/unpathed
qmail version's log and provide enough information to assist in
combating spam.

You need to patch qmail-smtpd to have the sender's email address as well
as the recipient addresses outputed into the log.

Once you have those patches, you can then extract the information such
as remote IP as well as the sender's and recipients' addresses. Once
you build a pattern, you can implement/develope any and every approach
to deal with spam. Have a look at spam assasin and there are several
other options.
