The problem is not the anti-spam, but the spam.
We also have an anti-spam engine, and i am thinking of implementing this 
sort of measure.
Our server (small company) receives thousands of spam messages a day, and 
this challenge-response is the only way left to reject spam. Most spammers 
know by now how to circumvent Baesian filtering.
But sometimes maintaining the anti-spam engine is more work than deleting 
each spam message.

Don't blame it on the postmaster ...
