Please post it.  Does it use the uw-imap c-client library?
I need to hack something similar that will work with mix.

Since it uses c-client, it works with any uw-imap mailbox format.

Thank you for sharing this.  It looks very useful, and it also has
value as a small example of using c-client.

Another approach one might take is using the "prune" subcommand with
recent "mailutil" from the imapd distribution.  We're doing that with
a wrapper script and cron:

 sudo -H -u ${THEUSER} /usr/local/sbin/mailutil \
        prune ${QUARANTINE} \
        "before ${DATE_THIRTY_DAYS_AGO}" 1> /dev/null

THEUSER is the username, QUARANTINE is the folder name of the spam
folder we're operating on, and DATE_THIRTY_DAYS_AGO is produced with
GNU date and looks like 11-14-2006.
