Oh, come on! You should not start talking about stuff you have no clue
about. qmail-ldap's qmail-reply does not reply to messgages with:
a) specific users (eg. mailer-daemon)
b) present Precedence: field of junk, bulk or list
c) ignores mails with X-RBL: headers
d) ignores mails with X-Spam-Status: Yes

Additionaly if configured correctly qmail-reply will only send one reply
to a specific user in two weeks. Btw. this feature was enabled by default
in Nov. 2003.

So all the stuff you are criticizing is not valid.
