if you are running linux / solaris etc. you can try this:

$ find /var/MailRoot/domains/ -type f -mtime +<MAX_DAYS> | \
grep "\.<SERVERNAME>" | xargs rm -f

<MAX_DAYS> = maximum days to keep
<SERVERNAME> = mame of your server (e.g. if your hostname is "mail",
mails are stored like "1058993653011.238449691.mail"

for testing purpose you should first try liek this:

$ find /var/MailRoot/domains/ -type f -mtime +<MAX_DAYS> | \
grep "\.<SERVERNAME>" | ls -al
-> this shows you all files, that would be deleted if you used rm -f.

good luck - and better create a backup _before_ testing!
