Here's what they would like to see: 
 1. If a message is for user(_at_)iki(_dot_)fi, proceed to 3.
 2. If a message is for user(_at_)nospam(_dot_)iki(_dot_)fi, run it through 
some sort
    of content filtering, and generate a bounce if warranted.
 3. Do normal /etc/aliases alias expansion etc and proceed with mail
    processing as usual.

I guess the easiest is to use a mailertable entry like

        spam.iki.fi     procmail:/etc/procmailrcs/spamcheck

assuming they are using sendmail+procmail. Then in spamcheck, you can do the
checking and if the mail "succeeds", procmail can send it further to
<user>@iki.fi. Of course, you have to be careful to pass the right "-f"
flag to sendmail, etc...
