You can override a setting by returning it from userdb.

ulimit -c unlimited
dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test
gdb /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool core
bt full

But as I said, you can't get expire-tool to work properly with different
settings. It will always use only the settings you have in dovecot.conf,
messing up all the database for the non-default users.
