Thanks Anthony.
Finally someone who could spare the sarcasm and actually push me in the
right direction, it's much appreciated!

I made some trial and error, and came up with a modified version that
will create the correct commands. My virtual domains are all converted
to one local domain name, so I only need to list one dir, therefor I
came up with this:

#!/bin/sh
pushd /var/spool/imap/user >/dev/nul
     for acct in *; do
         for email in *; do
            echo cm user.$email.SPAM
            echo sam user.$email.SPAM cyrus all
            echo sam user.$email.SPAM anyone p
            echo sam user.$email.SPAM $email lrswipcd
         done
     done
popd >/dev/nul

The create command doesn't give any rights, so the parameters are a bit
different than your suggestion.

I'll try to find a way to feed the result into cyradm as well. :)
