You can write a simple shell script:

#!/bin/bash

quarantine_dir=/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine
quar_del_date=`date -d "30 days ago" +%Y%m%d`
rm -fr $quarantine_dir/$quar_del_date


and run it via cron daily.

With a little more work you can probably get it to check for anything
older than 30 days as well, just in case your crond doesn't happen to be
running one day for some reason or other.
