You would have to go through each Mailbox or Maildir on the system and delete the appropriate emails in there.

I am doing it like that now, but is there any easy way to do this, like a tool which will delete old mails automatically.

I do not know of one, but if I were you, I would just implement quotas on each users home directory. Why delete emails when you can just limit the space?
