<p>The easier way to do this is to create a Gmail Filter.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Set up a new filter.</p></li>
<li><p>Add to the "Has the Words" field "is:spam"</p></li>
<li><p>Click the "Next Step" button, disregard any warning messages.</p></li>
<li><p>Check the boxes "Skip the inbox" and "Delete it".</p></li>
<li><p>Save the filter.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Now any items that would hit the Spam folder go directly to Trash and are automatically deleted in 30 days.</p>
<p>QED</p>

RickyF: you're missing the point completely. The goal is to manage Gmail's spam, not delete it - reason probably being that Gmail sometimes incorrectly marks email as spam.

<p>I too have an unmanageable amount of spam in my Gmail spam folder. Having to scan a thousand messages a day for possibly 1 or 2 that isn't spam is quite annoying.</p>
<p>I came upon this script to allow me to use spamassassin and still read my mail using the gmail interface.</p>

<p>I run it on my [Gmail]/Spam folder instead of the Inbox</p>
