Greetings As far as I know - tis not an exim function (I'm a noob so can be mistaken).
My initial thoughts would be to build a crantab'd script that basically does a : "find /var/spool/exim/woteva/ -mtime +60 -type f | xargs rm -f" and do the same for the quota file, depending on the size of your server, doing this daily during the off-peak periods should not have a deteramental impact. I have no idea how to rebuild the quota file on the fly - would like to know the solution though.
