Thanks again to everybody who responded, and steered me in the right direction.
I'm very close to getting John Simpson's validrcptto qmail patch described at
http://qmail.jms1.net/patches/validrcptto.cdb.shtml in place on the mailhub
machine to prevent passing Rumpelstiltskin problem e-mail
http://marc.info/?l=qmail&m=118749326201041
I feel for Peter, it appears the qmail list is not much help either.
But I do see as things develop that there is hope.

Right, problem is, there is code or a codeset on your machine that requires
they be present and activated or your server will barf on incoming messages.

I want to temporarily disable SpamAssassin to free up enough
resources to let the mail queue clear. How do I do that?
Further to the other comments, this page might be helpful:
qmail + spamassassin + c
So,
command_args="-d -r ${pidfile}"
would be
command_args="-d -r --local ${pidfile}"
Sorry, should be:
command_args="-d --local -r ${pidfile}"

Worried that I might be preventing all mail from passing through the
system, I rebooted the server after disabling SpamAssassin and ClamAV, so
they're running again. My remote mail queue is continuing to grow -- there
are now 79,110 messages in the remote queue. ps -ax | grep -c qmail-remote

Thanks, John, but now I'm totally baffled and suspicious that something's
really screwed up. What do you make of this transcript:

I have a FreeBSD machine running qmail, SpamAssassin and ClamAV. The machine
is receiving 200,000 e-mail messages per day, courtesy of Rumpelstiltskin
attacks from thousands of different IP addresses each day, and SpamAssassin
appears to be overwhelmed. I have about 50,000 e-mail messages in
30 matches
