Not necessarily.  I wrote a "user creation" script which makes the
standard mailboxes, including Trash, and sets a 14-day expiry for
Trash.

I explain the behavior to each user I set up, and I encourage them to
configure their clients to "move to Trash" (if possible).  Then they
never even have to think about expunging.

It works pretty well.
