Any detection that can take place in the mail store can (and should) be 
moved up the chain, preferably to the MTA.

Yes, once a message is delivered, leave it alone. The most you should do

suspicious messages in a special folder. But even this has caveats, and 
I prefer to let the users sort their own mail.
