Yes, and it was nice to find out that you guys use and support what I
have to support now :)

I am using Sendmail, and yesterday I started usind Mimedefang to replace
MessageID with smth like "day-month-year-" + "original MessageID". We'll
see how it will behave in the future.

As far as I understood the man page (and you are right, it's a bit
confusing) - if a mailbox is expired in 5 days, using no '-a' will
result in keeping at least five days history in deliver.db for that
mailbox.
