Is this really necessary though? Wouldn't it require root or physical access to the server to read deleted files? If a malicious user has that level of access you're screwed anyways because now they can read mail as it comes in and goes out. And again, this does nothing to prevent clients from caching emails. This still seems like it should be performed at the FS level to me, have you Googled around to see if any filesystems support a "true delete"?
