Is there any easier way? I just took over our mailman server and we have
several years worth of messages in 190+ mboxs totaling approx 130 gig

You inspired me. I've created a script for pruning archives. See "NOTE
ON PRUNING OLD MESSAGES:" in the FAQ at<http://wiki.list.org/x/2YA9>
for links.

Since this is a brand new process, I suggest you make backup copies of
the LISTNAME.mbox files before starting. The script has a --backup
option, but I would make separate backups to be sure until you've run
the script successfully.
