This is probably not something you haven't thought about already, but
how about saving the day's or week's messages to a temporary file and
then run a daily/weekly cron job to merge in the new file and keep the
1750 newest messages? 

It's a great idea -- but now I'm worried about one thing. What if, during
the crontab job -- a new message is written to the daily file?

For me it'd have to be daily, since I can literally receive 1750 new
messages in a busy week.
