I just use a daily cron job with regex, never had much luck with
dovecots method:
# delete 30 day old mails from Trash
find /var/mail/ -regex '.*/\.\(Trash\|Junk\)\(/.*\)?\/\(cur\|new\)/.*'
-type f -ctime +30 -exec rm '{}' \;
# delete 200 day old mails from mailinglists
find /var/mail/ -regex
'.*/\.\(Fedora\|Atrpms\|Centos\|Mythtv\)\(/.*\)?\/\(cur\|new\)/.*' -type
f -ctime +200 -exec rm '{}' \;
cheers
