Just think a little bigger:
It must be a crime to have the harmful material.
Have it on your PC or phone —> goto jail.
Have it in your online account —> goto jail.
Be a service provider and have it on your server —> goto jail.
This will reduce the stuff.
You really haven't thought this through. What happens if I email you a bunch of illegal pictures? Guess we're both going to jail.
Oh but I don't need to think too much through it. It is pretty much the legal situation in Germany (and probably several other European countries). There may be some edge cases that I don't know.
Of course, if you send stuff to me, then you are the first of the evil ones :) and if I can convince the judge that I did not know and did not want (!) the stuff (and by the way, how did they even know about it? Even before I had the chance to delete it?), there will be room for a reasonable decision.
