I've not gotten it to work from cyrus.conf so I am trying it from the

for example, my path would be
/var/spool/imap/c/user/craig/SPAMBOX
but none of these work...
su - cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ipurge -f -d 7 user/*/SPAMBOX'
su - cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ipurge -f -d 7 user/SPAMBOX'
su - cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ipurge -f -d 7 */SPAMBOX'
What's the magic here?
What version of Cyrus? You might be better served to set the
'/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire' mailbox annotation and use cyr_expire(8).

from Simon...
# rpm -q cyrus-imapd
cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-3.RHEL4.1
off list some suggested user.*.SPAMBOX which indeed worked but I don't
understand the difference between purge and expire I guess.
ipurge is older can delete messages based on date and/or size.
expire is newer and can only delete messages based on date, but also
removes the deliver.db entries (for expiring Netnews articles). It is
also used for deleting "expunged but not yet removed" messages when
using delayed expunge.
