[Dovecot] Can expire-tool skip folders with "expire time in future" errors?

[Ralph Seichter]

Hi folks,

when I run expire-tool, I often see messages like the following:

  # dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool
  Info: user/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Fri May 22 17:42:23 2009

the server's dovecot.conf contains the following line:

  expire = Trash 2 Junk 7 */News 30 */Reports 7

>From what I observe, an error of "expire time in future" in one of the
Trash folders stops expire-tool alltogether, meaning that remaining
folders like News or Reports don't get processed at all?

Is this interpretation correct? If so, can I convince expire-tool to
skip errors and continue processing other folders?
