((to-address . "cartman-list@redhat.com") (total-expire . t) (expiry-wait . 20) (expiry-target . "nnml:TARGET")) As I've decreased the expiry-wait period (now down to 5) messages are being expired. A `ls ~/Mail/cartman2|wc -l' shows the decrease in numbers but no nnml:TARGET is created. Creating nnml:TARGET by hand does not help. Still no expired messages appear there. nnmail-expiry target is set like so: nnmail-expiry-target's value is delete > 'delete' - that is the default, and I override it with the group > parameters for certain groups.

Why do you need to override `nnmail-expiry-target delete' with another `delete' in group params?
