Maybe my age is showing, but rather than screw around with logout hooks,
why not just use cron to run find to rm any trash older than some number
of days.  Run it at 0300 or something like that.

I don't know what form mail compression takes, but if there is a command
line program that will do it you can run that from cron too.

You can use cron to run a script to do both.
