Excuse me but somebody, maybe me?, is confusing the expire plugin with the lazy_expunge plugin. From reading the fine documentation, it appears that...
- There is no expunge plugin, only a lazy_expunge plugin
Well..... that is correct, that earlier reference to an 'expunge' plugin was apparently just a typo...
- The lazy_expunge plugin runs "by itself" but requires a nightly cron job if you want to delete old mail.
- There is an expire plugin which I believe the original poster was asking about
- The expire plugin requires a nightly cron job to call /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool to do its thing
The cron job is only for v 1.0.x systems. The expire plugin only works on 1.1+
As far as I can tell, the expire plugin does not require a cron job to do its thing...
