help with cyr_expire please

[Wesley Craig]

If you're getting a message like this:

	expiring messages in ... older than ... days

that's the result of the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation  
being set.  It's controlled with the -E flag.  A spam dump is a  
pretty typical place to find an annotation like that.
