We used the IMAP_EMPTYTRASH courier's feature to enforce our
policy at login/logout time.  That takes care for the active
users, another cron job monthly (last sunday) takes care for
the rest, it exists a performance penalty doing a stat call
for every file on login/logout time but XFS + hw raid excell
in that area.  For the cron job the load is not a problem as
that can be minimized too (in our case) with _good_ hardware
raid storage.

I can't tell as I don't know but I assume a lot of minutes
for that obscene quantity ;)
