2 different Smart Mailbox approaches:
   1. Mailboxes: Any of Sent, Trash;
      Conditions: Date is not within last 30 days;
      Rule: Conditions=[just exempting conditions]
            Action=Delete Permanently

   2. Mailboxes: All Messages;
      Conditions: Any of: Tags/Keywords include \Deleted, Received Does 
Not Exist;
      Rule: Conditions=Date is not within last 30 days [and any 
exemptions]
            Action=Delete Permanently

I use something like #1 to manage my flood of list mail: Most messages 
in the mailbox sub-tree I use for public mailing lists get auto-deleted 
after 30 days.
