Set up a Search Folder (virtual folder). Specify "Date Received is
Before <N days before current time>" as the search criterion and
specifying Trash and Junk as the specific folders to be searched.

Periodically go to this folder. Select All. Delete. Expunge (Ctrl-E).

Not 100% automatic but it should do the trick.
