Nope - just me but I want an automatic deletion of old mailinglist
emails which I don't want to do manually and I definitly do not like
find -exec rm solutions.
Are there other ways for deleting old emails instead of expire?

I don't have vpopmail running with SQL - I'm using the vpopmail internal
userdatabase.

Ok - point granted but still - dovecot does not fill the expires
table in my database on a mail arrival which would be the first
step at all before starting with doveadm, or?
