If you use Maildir format, easy using tools available on the system.

You may blow out the command line length with this depending on how many
domains and users you have - to get around this you might need a
separate program that iterates into each of the directories before
running ...

find /path/to/mailroot/*/*/.SPAM -daystart -mtime +60 -exec rm -R {} \;

(the path changes to . if you use a separate program to get into the
directory first)

If you're using one of the other mail formats, you'll be restricted to
using the mail tools. IMAP/POP connected to thunderbird might be enough,
but you'd have to have it accessing everyones email :P
