I missed the size requirement in my prior post, but this could be scripted fairly easily. Just check the size of the mailbox file and run the utility to delete email x days old if needed.

I would expand on it though to also allow the deletion by date as well as according to size. SmarterMail lacks the date functionality and it would be a nice thing to have. IMail has a utility that can handle the dates, but it has to be run from the command line currently and would benefit from some GUI stuff in addition to the size and per domain settings.
