Put this in the appropriate crontab:
cd /home/spamcatcher/.maildir && \
tar czf <whatever>.tar.gz cur && \
rm -fr cur/*

then set the time sufficiently before the run of logrotate (or
whatever you use for log rotation, and add the handling of
<whatever>.tar.gz to the logrotate configs.
Or, depending on the log rotation process, you could hook the above
script to the "post-rotate" part of the configuration, and skip the
crontab aspects.
