No easy, built-in way, but then again, you shouldn't need it. queue
management in qmail is completely automatic.

Your system is misconfigured. What split value are you using? What
filesystem on what operating system? What kind of disk/array is the queue on?
If your system bogs down because of the number of (basically inactive)
messages in the queue, you've configured your system with values which are
inappropriate for the load you're trying to serve.

qmail's default queuelifetime is 7 days. You can lower it to whatever you
want. However, reducing it too far will cause mail to bounce which would
otherwise be delivered successfully.
