[nflug] mail script

Here's one for giggles...

I have an internal linux/sendmail/ mail server that is internally
serving email to it's self there's prolly 50 users mailing each other. 
I created a redirect for mass mailing morning memo's.  For simplicity of
guests visiting us for 2 months I created an email account for the redirect.

So here is what happens:

mail user: 'sally' sends a memo email to redirect 'everyone' which is
now an email account which our 2 month visiting guests login as
'everyone' to read. ...cool works great! 

So here's the problem:

user 'everyone' can delete their email -not good :( - 
and I cannot (of course) set permissions on the actual mail/user because
the mail system will move the 'everyone' mail to BOGUS.everyone and then
create a fresh blank 'everyone' that the mail system can write too

Any ideas or solutions? ...eventually I will be using an electronic Bill
Board but for now I need a quick hack.

Thank you very much
-Eric
