You didn't say what the software/hardware setup for this is, but this is how
I would do it.

Setup a linux (bsd or whatever makes you happier) mail server, create all
the accounts for the students, and set the forward to another user so that
no incoming mail ends up in their inboxes.  So, maybe you have joe_smith
gets forwarded to joe_smith_hold.  Probably set their login shell to
something like /bin/false so they can't telnet in and change it (or I
suppose you could just lock the .forward file as root).  You will also need
to give them their password, because you will need to be able to log into
their account, or at least their mail, as them.  Only the admins know the
password to the hold account.

Setup an imap server on the machine.  All the hold boxes are set up with SA
and does its stuff and then delivers it to the hold inboxes.  Having the
spam subject would probably help sort though it faster.  Go though the hold
boxes, delete the bad stuff and whatever is left, drag it to their normal
inbox.  They will have whatever client to connect to their inbox and can
only get to the joe_smith account.  So, their client can connnect to
joe_smith and your client connects to both joe_smith and joe_smith_hold,
plus the same for the rest of the school.

Does that seem needlessly complex.  It does seem tedious going though all
the mail to delete things, but I don't see any way to reliably do it
automagically, not if you want 0% possibility of porno stuff in their
inboxes.  Those seem the hardest to detect for SA and I've seen a lot that
end up with 0 or maybe 1 hit.  Lots of those are very short and just say,
hey big boy, go to this site, you will love it.

Kerry.
