that's fine but I thought it was significant enough to mention that
there are imap servers with a native capability to manage mail that had
already been delivered as opposed to a perl hack that wouldn't likely
have the granularity offered by cyrus.

I automatically expire emails delivered to each users 'SPAMBOX' after 7
