Move and later delete mail data of nonexistant users.
Hello everyone!

Perhaps something like
Code:
cd /var/spool/mail
for MBX in *
do
   [[ -z $(getent passwd $MBX) ]] && mv $MBX /some/where/else
done

to move away orphaned mailbox files and later
Code:
find /some/where/else -mtime +30 | xargs rm

(untested, just to give you an idea).
