Hmm... some people just replied to you but seeing as i've typed it now,

Assuming that by "the end of the week" you mean Saturday, something like:

(As root) crontab -e

0 6 * * 6 find /home/vpopmail/domains/sdcdom/user001/ -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm {}
";" > /dev/null

should be somewhere near.

I'm not 100% sure about the first '*' though, 'man 5 crontab' will help you refine it.
