-A means it goes through all users, which most likely isn't what you want. Rather use -u $USER. Also add some check that this expunging isn't done more than once a day. Something like:

if [ ! -f expungestamp ] || [ `find Makefile -mtime +1d` != "" ]; then
  touch expungestamp
  doveadm ..
fi

Alternatively if this is too slow you could also build a plugin to do this (mostly copy&paste code from doveadm-mail-expunge.c).
