Well as you want to delete you don't need to worry about ownership of the Maildir. Create a script that starts the script for each Maildir you have on your system. Run the script from a crontab or from the cron.monthly directory. You need a list of the Maildir directories. Depending on your setup you can create it on the fly or keep track of the Maildir places ina file and read the file for usage with the script. If you need more help just send an email, private is fine.
