Is there a way to limit the amount of disc space dovecot will use

We host our mail data on the file server, however, the index files
are located on local discs on each of the mail servers and seem to
grow without bounds. We're above 250M now and soon /var will run
out of space.

You could always just delete some of them manually. I guess it would
be possible to make it drop data more aggressively. I'll add in my TODO.
