[Dovecot] expire plugin doesn't work?

[Gedalya]

I don't know, why don't you just try?
If you run the exact same command but with "search" instead of 
"expunge", it should also use the expire plugin in the same way, so that 
should be an easy test.
Are you using sql for passdb? If so I wonder if you could define an sql 
userdb in addition to the static userdb with only an iterate_query 
defined..?
