no procmail, no website, mail folders...

did I forget anything? I hope not :-)

Boy, that's a stick of dynamite all right. Yes, Shimi, it will work; but it will be very loud and painful for you the admin, won't it? Sendmail and procmail in particular (and probably others) are going to be putting long, noisy, and annoying messages in your logs *constantly* thus making your job harder.

IMHO, we'd be better off doing a little scripting to create a more "elegant" solution. Still, if you had to totally lock down a site today at any cost, that's a simple and extremely effective way (which I hadn't thought of).
