So you have thousands of users to make expire plugin useful?

This won't work with userdb vpopmail. I'm not sure if vpopmail API
allows for a way to list all users. (I see there's a way to list one
domain's users.)

You could switch from userdb vpopmail to accessing vpopmail's sql(?)
database directly with userdb sql.
