Hmm... any recommendation of how to best approximate the desired behavior?
I was thinking that I could just turn off total-expire and set expiry-wait
at 10days and then have an explicit "purge" command that would temporarily
set expiry-wait at 180, turn on total-expire and cause expiration (and do
that on a bunch of different groups).
I'm not fluent in Gnu internals, so if someone can give me a rough idea of
what functions I'll need to use, I'd be very grateful.
