Every time you get a new message, there's a certain probability that TMDA
will do housekeeping. Look for PENDING_CLEANUP_ODDS in on the TMDA wiki.

tmda-pending -bTO 14d
will give you a list of messages in your queue older than 14 days.
The leftmost column of that list should be the filename within
~/.tmda/pending/
A bash script like
for file in `tmda-pending -bTO 14d`; do
echo rm ~/.tmda/pending/$file
done
should do the trick.
Run it with the 'echo rm' first to make sure that it's not going to try to
drive over your cat and steal your silverware. Then you can remove the 'echo'
part and it'll actually delete things.
