Oh dear :-)

Was the question originally not how to restrict the system so as to allow only 
ROOT to delete any users received mail? That was how I understood it.

Unfortunately, I haven't got an answer as I think it's going to be difficult. 
Usually it's the opposite way round, a user can do anything with his own 
stuff, root can do anything with anything.

Now, could one imagine that the mail received (by any user) was actually owned 
by root,- who would then only give reading access to group and world? The 
pattern 744 root.any_group would do the trick? The question is now, how to 
make root the owner of all incoming mail to all users...

Best regards,
Verner
