We are using the stock Sendmail and all mail is stored in the

Sendmail uses the mbox format, where each email in a users mailbox is
stored in a single text file. This makes it more difficult to implement
what you want to do. If you switched to Postfix and Maildir-style
mailboxes, you could easily write a Perl or bash script that would execute
daily via cron to do what you want. If you want to make the switch, I'll
see if I can write it....
There are plenty of modules that will handle mbox formats as well. Hell, if I can write a script to recursively detach tiff attachments from users' mail, this should be a piece of cake. ;-)
