Apologies people, it’s not dovecot
at the auto-expunge isn’t occurring within Dovecot at all. It’s
in our delivery pipeline and caused as a result of Perl’s Mail::Box::Maildir
module.
Kind Regards,
John.

Subject: [Dovecot] Auto-expunge
Hi,
For some time we’ve been intermittently experiencing a
problem whereby dovecot often automatically expunges “deleted”
messages. This has happened across several mailboxes. The problem
is proving difficult to isolate as it’s seemingly non-deterministic in
nature. One commonality, however, is that the “auto-expunge”
seems to occur with greater frequency on mailboxes with a larger of deleted
messages.
First off, does this sound any alarm bells for anybody
else? Perhaps others have encountered this in the past? I’ve
trolled the mailing list (and web) but cannot find any references to this
occurring elsewhere.
Additional Information:
We have experienced this “bug” in 1.0-alpha3 and
alpha4. Underlying dovecot we have a maildir, populated via Perl’s
Mail::Box::Maildir module.
Many thanks for any assistance that can be offered.
John.
