AIX auto delete old mail messages
We have had an issue where the mail file filled up. Is there a setting in sendmail.cf to automatically remove old emails? Say after 14 days. If not is there any way automatically to delete older mail files??

NAME
ipurge - delete mail from IMAP mailbox or partition based on age or size
SYNOPSIS
ipurge [ -f ] [ -C config-file ] [ -x ] [ -X ] [ -i ] [ -s ] [ -o ]
[ -d days | -b bytes | -k Kbytes | -m Mbytes ]
[ mailbox-pattern... ]
DESCRIPTION
Ipurge deletes messages from the mailbox(es) specified by mailbox-pattern that are older or larger than specified by the -d, -b, -k or -m
options. If no mailbox-pattern is given, ipurge works on all mailboxes. If the -x option is given, the message age and size MUST match
exactly those specified by -d, -b, -k or -m. The are no default values, and at least one of -d, -b, -k or -m MUST be specified.
Ipurge by default only deletes mail below shared folders, which means that mails in mailbox(es) below INBOX.* and user.* stay untouched.
Use the option -f to also delete mail in mailbox(es) below these folders.
Ipurge reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.
OPTIONS
-f Force deletion of mail in all mailboxes.
-C config-file
Read configuration options from config-file.
-d days
Age of message in days.
-b bytes
Size of message in bytes.
-k Kbytes
Size of message in Kbytes (2^10 bytes).
-m Mbytes
Size of message in Mbytes (2^20 bytes).
-x Perform an exact match on age or size (instead of older or larger).
-X Use delivery time instead of Date: header for date matches
-i Invert match logic: -x means not equal, date is for newer, size is for smaller
-s Skip over messages that have the Flagged flag set.
-o Only purge messages that have the Deleted flag set.
FILES
