We use delayed expunge with a delay of 120 days.
I was just playing with ipurge and it appears to 'physically' delete the
messages rather than just marking messages as expunged. Is it possible
to have ipurge just mark messages as expunged rather than removing them?
Looking at the man page I assume not.
