Autoexpunge not working for Junk?

[Amir Caspi]

Hi all,

Might anyone have any idea about this issue?  I can run a cron job if needed but it seems like autoexpunge SHOULD be doing this automatically...

Thanks!

Running a manual doveadm expunge works fine... it's just autoexpunge that seems to not be running at all.
