Easy! First, make sure you are using Maildir folders. then something very much like this will do it:
find /home/*/Maildir/.SPAM/{cur,new} -type f -ctime +7 -delete
I put this in a crontab to be run every day. Of course, change the +7 to +10 (or whatever) and I only delete people's spam, but that's your choice.

Hard.
Why are you making it hard?
