Loosing mail (without notice) is totally unacceptable except for very special cases (like malware) for which no other solution is available. You might even get into legal trouble. It's better to set up mailbox quotas and return 5x errors when the quota limit is exceeded. If a user wants to delete his mail based on age, leave it up to him to set that up, assist him if needed, and leave it up to him to bear the consequences. To avoid a possible exploit of exeeded quotas for bouncing SPAM, set up an automatic checking for exeeded quotas and don't accept any mail for users whose limit is exceeded for some period of time.
