I've finally managed to figure this out along with some other 
tricks to beef up qmail/procmail spam handling on PLESK. In a 
nutshell, it places spam into a spam folder, purges spam x 
days old, and will work universally across all accounts on 
the system (e.g. no manual setup per account). Hope this 
helps someone out... I've tried and tested this on 3 
different production servers and counting:

Here's a link to the tutorial:

Some quick comments follow.  First, please don't send MIME-encoded
mail to the list.  This is a text-only list.

Regarding your code:

Why are you going directly to a nested brace set without
any condition?  That seems unnecessary.

The trailing ".*" does nothing of value here.  Suggest you get rid of it.

We didn't need to enter another sublevel of nested braces here.  You could
do:

   :0
   * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
   * ? test -d $SPAMDIR && find $SPAMDIR/new -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \; && false
   { }

Well, gee, but didn't we already test for "^X-Spam-Status: Yes"
way up above?  Should be no need to repeat the test.
