I'd agree with you if it had thousands of users, but not when the user count is 8. If you have 8 users on your SMTP server, damn easy to know with certainty if any of them did anything that might be considered malicious.

Law enforcement makes no difference between proxying, caching and storing indefinitely. At least not during all the steps that precede your hardware being seized.
