Another is to take the MESSAGE-ID and use it to create an individual

I was thinking this too... Then using a cronjob which whatch the
/var/mail/* for changes and if nothin has changed, delete the old
messages.
No, if you get more then 5,000 message a day ie 15000 inodes
in three days, you will have big performens problem!
Not realy right, because I have more then 200.000.000 Inodes in
my ext3 FileSystem with curently around 35.000.000 Messages. :-)
I run courier-imap and it handel those messages very well.
BUT (!!!) never try to use 'fam' on such filesystem.
