Found this on the wiki:
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Maintain_Trash_and_Spam_folder
maybe I should add my adjustments to the wiki?
Modified the qtp-clean-trash to add a clean up of old emails.
As recently our backups have been taking over 14 hours, and are around
30 Gb.
So I modified the script to delete any email in the users " CUR "
folder, older than 31 days .
If doing this, make sure you send a server wide email, to alert all
users what you are doing.
I gave then 2 weeks notice, and ran it last night.
Worked like a charm.
