I've now had time to do a bit of meddling and I've created a script
containing something similar to your transport_filter line above.

From the testing I've done on a spare machine here it seems to be
catching input and output to/from spamc. I'm going to try this
on the server that was suffering and see what gets logged when a
mail fails.
