RH defaults to using the Syslog facility for logging mail and so uses the syslog
logrotate.d script to actually rotate them.

You can modify the syslog script in /etc/logrotate.d to do the latter. I don't
know how you would check and delete actual mail that is 1 year or older.
Probably with a perl script that can deal with the mbox format.
