For those of you running mailservers on CentOS 6, what are the suggestions for programs to expunge old email? For instance, deleting email from a Spam folder that is 2 weeks old or older.
I see that Dovecot does have a solution, but was wondering about what others have landed on.
My systems are basically Postfix, Dovecot using Maildir.

I just use a daily cron job with regex, never had much luck with dovecots method:
# delete 30 day old mails from Trash find /var/mail/ -regex '.*/.(Trash|Junk)(/.*)?/(cur|new)/.*' -type f -ctime +30 -exec rm '{}' ;
# delete 200 day old mails from mailinglists find /var/mail/ -regex '.*/.(Fedora|Atrpms|Centos|Mythtv)(/.*)?/(cur|new)/.*' -type f -ctime +200 -exec rm '{}' ;
