You could try something like,

find /var/spool/exim/SAspamaccept -mtime +7 -print0 | xargs -0 rm

Which will remove anything modified (or created in this case) over seven
days. The -0 deals with the horrid filenames being produced.

You could have this scheduled to happen at regular intervals. Look in
man 5 crontab and man 1 crontab.
