if you're delivering to maildirs, then Craig Whitmore's
solution is about right. If you're delivering to
mailspools, then this tool:
http://www.mythic-beasts.com/downloads/trimfolder-20041010.tar.gz
will do sort of what you want (but it trims to constant
size, rather than constant age of oldest message). Another
possibility would be to deliver mail to mailspools whose
name changes daily (e.g. /var/spool/mail/chris/20060720)
and then use a find command to nuke the old ones.
