You're college system admin can set up the e-mail server to delete files of a specific type from a specific user - or black-list that user so he cannot send into the system at all. That way the offending, and possibly illegal, mail never makes it to your system. To protect yourself you should use a secure delete that over-writes the pornographic material since some of it might be child-related and you DO NOT want someone poking around and finding that. Simply deleting a file or attachment still leaves bits and pieces of it on your computer's hard drive and those can be searched with forensic software. If he is attempting to get you in trouble then he can succeed by sending you porn that you don't see, and then "erase" leaving the remains lurking on your drive. He then alerts the authorities and they take over your computer and find files you didn't know were there. On the Mac there are secure ways to delete a file and I'm certain there are tools to do the same with Windows as well. Professional advice from the college would be in order least you fall afoul of someone in law enforcement wanting to make a name for themselves.
