We are running FreeBSD 2.X and have /var/mail files that are becoming 
rather large and would like to filter this directory for each user based 
on message age.  

Does anyone know of a good routine or freely available package that would 
accomplish this?

Currently smail is handling the mail.  

Thanks much for any assistance,
