Aha!

Sorry. I'm running that doveadm command as root, with the -u <user>
parameter, where <user> is a virtual user.
Anyway, I've just read the wiki2 again, and noted that I don't really
need the expire plugin, because it is only needed for the -A option. If
I specify the -u parameter, it doesn't utilize the plugin. So I'm now
using only the doveadm expunge -u ... command, which now gives me this
output:

# /usr/local/bin/doveadm -D expunge -u <user> mailbox sa.* SAVEDBEFORE 1d
doveadm(root): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot

doveadm(root): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/doveadm
doveadm(root): Debug: Skipping module doveadm_expire_plugin, because dlopen() failed: Cannot load specified object
			^^^ I'm curious about this error message. Is it
			safe to ignore this?
doveadm(root): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_quota_plugin.so
doveadm(<user>): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6435
doveadm(<user>): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6436
doveadm(<user>): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6437
doveadm(<user>): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6438


The only thing I've changed in the config is that I've removed the
expire plugin from the $mail_plugins variable.


Thanks,
Daniel
