>Description:
The configuration file /etc/defaults/periodic.conf is missing the setting daily_clean_msgs_days, i.e.:
    daily_clean_msgs_days=        # If not modified for
should read:
    daily_clean_msgs_days=7       # If not modified for

Work-around: insert the corrected line in /etc/periodic.conf.local or /etc/periodic.conf

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed 
State-Changed-By: brian 
State-Changed-When: Mon Sep 23 15:49:26 PDT 2002 
State-Changed-Why:  
The daily_clean_msgs_days variable is intended to default to being blank. 
The man page suggests that this runs msgs with the default (21) days. 

See periodic.conf(5) and msgs(1)
