That's pretty obvious... to maintain a cache in case anyone is looking for a message in the past X number of days, and then assume that if no one missed it in X days, delete it. As for the original question, it sounds like you need to be looking at things that interact with the mailstore, not queues. Once the message is delivered, postfix does not handle it anymore. You also have some terminology mixed up, as what you are calling a "mail queue" is not what postfix calls a mail queue. You just happen to be using a mailbox as a mail "queue", which is not the same as a postfix mail queue. As far as software to actually do that, I'm not sure. Maybe if you have mail setup through IMAP you could use sieve. Not sure if procmail could do it. You're probably looking at a custom script.
