Have you found that this patch actually makes the expiry target stuff
work on your setup?

Doesn't seem to be working here.    Relevant settings:

Running 5.8.8 CVS 1 week
Rod's patch applied

C-h v nnmail-expiry-target <RET>
nnmail-expiry-target's value is 
delete

Group param code:

((to-address . "cartman-list@redhat.com")
 (total-expire . t)
 (expiry-wait . 1)
 (expiry-target . "nnml:TARGET"))

Expiry is occuring, but nothing is going into nnml:TARGET.

nnml:TARGET should be created without manual intervention right?  It was not.
So creating it manually still no messaged end up there, although
expiry continues to remove messages.

Just incase I've misapplied the patch, I'll try the current cvs if it
is committed now.  Is it?
