Perhaps you should consider using the expiration annotation on the
mailbox(es) in question. Mailboxes with expiration annotations are
pruned via a periodic 'cyr_expire' event in cyrus.conf. Here's a sample
entry in the cyrus.conf events section:
EVENTS {
...
prune cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" at=0400
...
}
For more details see the man page, cyr_expire(8).
