Continuing struggle with expiry

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

Sigh. I can't tell if I'm making progress or not. By a process of
mostly shotgun debugging, I now have a bunch of articles in my spam
folder that are marked as expirable.

The group parameters are:

((timestamp 15690 40431)
 (auto-expire . t)
 (total-expire . t)
 (expiry-wait . 7))

When I enter the summary buffer with C-u space, I can see that there
are a lot of 'E' articles and a lot of them are way older than 7 days.

So it seems to me that some process should be actually deleting those
old, expired articles. But that doesn't happen when I leave the
summary buffer.

What function actually cleans up articles marked expired that are older
than expiry-wait days? What hook/function/magic runs that function?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
