You should enlighten your users in the good use of sorting out the crap
with a simple .procmailrc file. Asuming your MTA actually uses procmail
from local delivery. (If it does not do so now I suggest you add it
straight away.)

As everything is run as the same user while MailScanner is working on it
~  ~ tends to be the MailScanner user for all users email. Regardless
wether or not the receiver is John or Paul or George or ....
