Thanks everyone for the help. We're using qmail, Vpopmail, Dovecot and
Squirrelmail. If there is something built in to Dovecot I could try that.
The squirelmail plugin doesn't really look at the date of the message, and
can only be set to remvoe entire trash after x number of days or x number of
logins. I'll also have a look at Bill's script to see if I can apply it.
So is the find command I listed not a sae way of going about it?
Maybe Cron it for every 30 days or something?
