Ignoring all social issues, and treating this the same way I treat other
children (i.e. Traders), you could use legal/compliance technology.  In this
case you point the MX records for the domain via a provider such as
MessageLabs and then direct the server to send all mail through the same
pathway.  If rackspace are amenable to sending through an MX relay of your
choice this would work pretty well.  I am also ignoring cost as if you
*have* to meet a legal requirement I will assume that this is the most
important consideration.

Once this is done you send Messagelabs a list of users - in your case just
one or two humans with any number of email addresses/domains associated with
those users (they base pricing on pairs of eyeballs not on mail addresses).
You can then setup the adults as "compliance officers" who get cc'ed when
any mail contains certain keywords.  They are also able to do full text
search on any mail sent or received.  In addition MessageLabs handles
whitelisting of email addresses to control who the child sends to and
receives from.  There is a quarantine function to trap any blacklisted mail
for review.

So - a little overengineered - but would only require one time input from a
technical friend and would be a fairly robust solution for mail to/from a
specific domain.  Also, the messagelabs is not an endorsement.  I am
evaluating them at the moment and they seem to cover all the bases needed
for this scenario.  There are many others in the space who could do
something similar.

Thoughts?
