The following was suggested to me for a cron job to delete old emails from a spam folder. I don't completely understand the syntax at the end of the line.

find /home/user/mail/domain/email/.spam -type f +mtime 30 -exec rm -f '{}' \;


should not "+mtime 30" be "-mtime +30"

What does "'{}'" (quote lbrace rbrace quote) mean?

What does the "\" at the end mean?
