As part of it all, I also want to try to keep disk usage and CPU

reduce the amount of disk usage. I'm looking for a solution that
would be
easy on the disk and easy on the CPU. So something directly out of
the MTA
would be great (sendmail) or something that the delivery would not store
it locally.
Rewrite the recipient address of these emails to another address.
That should reduce disk usage on that server and filtering load. You
can run the reporting on another server. It can be done hourly by
processing the mailbox instead of one message at a time. That would
require some code changes.

I'm doing spam reporting and I'm using Exim to do it. I'm not sure what
you are trying to do but I've configured Exim to try one time to send an
abouse report and if it fails it goes to /dev/null. In oder to get speed
I mount a ram disk and put my queues in ram which makes it run really
fast. I'm deliverling about 10k/hour abuse reports and not having any
problem. Runs fine as a separate server in a VPS.
