Not sure where to post this, so thought I'd start here.

I have a postfix server with virtual (mysql) users who use maildir.  I  
have procmail working for those users, and one of the things procmail  
does is filter out the spam and put it in a .SPAM maildir.

Trouble is, some users never check this folder, and I've a couple  
where the .SPAM is over a gig in size, and growing.

What I would like to do is figure out some way to auto-delete messages  
in there that are, say, 30 days old or older.

I am sure there are many ways to do this, but how about using
archivemail (http://archivemail.sourceforge.net/).  I use it for
archiving and deleting old mail and it works fine.  I run it from cron
in every night.


Cheers,
       Nick.
