What I do is put good emails into the "hidden" IMAP folder of
./Maildir/.hold/ (all of the users have it but unless they map the
folder they do not see it) as well as the ./Maildir/ default inbox.  You
could do something similar for the spam, like ./Maildir/.holdspam/ .

Then your cronjob works on those folders and can delete from it as
needed.
