how would the correct syntax bee to purge all spam mails from virtual
domains ? 

user/%/SPAM is not enough I have to also pass the domain, I now created
for every domain a cron script like this:

user/%/SPAM at domain1.net
user/%/SPAM at domain2.net
.
.
.

but this should not be a final solution ( well, this is what I sayd some
long long time ago and forgot about it )
