Still, the OP could use its own spam detection; such as, for 
instance, only sending the first 3 messages through unaffected, and 
then holding onto the rest, sending the user a message after 5 
minutes to report "There have been ## messages during this time."

The user could then log in, at their discretion, to go through the 
headers on a web interface with the OP, trying to find the one 
message they *did* want to receive, before disabling the temporary 
mailbox entirely, and relieving the OP's need to (indefinitely) 
continue storing those messages.
