ipurge does the trick. from our cyrus.conf:
EVENTS {
[...]
purgespam cmd="ipurge -X -d 14 -f user.%.spam" at=0200
the main problem is that Cyrus has no support for a system wide Sieve
script, so you need to add the backup rule to each user's file. the
autocreate patch from the University of Athens is worth a look, it can
install a default Sieve filter for new users:

we do backups on the MTA level instead -- a separate delivery is made on
a backup host. this also protects us from hardware failure on the Cyrus
servers.
