Yes, you did. Normally mail for luser-user will be delivered
to his mbox at /var/spool/mail/luser-user. What I suggested
is to alias luser-user to "|luser-script". With sendmail, this
will run the script separately for _each_ message. This script
then saves the message to separate files in /var/spool/luser-user/.
Please read the dir names carefully.

Later,
Kenn
