This should be a Paid Request, but I think a cron job would do it, you would set the cron job to delete messages after -whatever- days, and the job would do it.

I could see maybe making a new db table with post id and 'date to remove' columns, and write a record to it if a post is added with a removal date, then have a daily schedules task to remove any expired posts (or maybe add a plugin on an existing cleanup task).

ETA: ...wrote this before reading the above, but yeah, same idea.

Also - unless you want to pay someone to develop it for you, you shouldn't put it "Paid Requests". You could put it in "Unpaid Requests" though.
