if you use something like this to sort mail to read in gnus:

;; (setq nnmail-split-methods
      '(
	("cron"		"^Subject: cron:.*")
	("cvs"          "^Subject: \\[CVS\\]")
 	("rootmail"     "^From: root@ ")
        ...
	("spam"     ""))))


;;;;;; Expiring junk  

(setq auto-expire t)
(setq gnus-inhibit-user-auto-expire nil)
(setq gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups "nnml.*")
(setq nnmail-expiry-wait-function
           (lambda (group)
            (cond ((string= "spam"  group ) 1)
           ; ...
	;; deleting a message after 1 day
		  ((string= "private" group ) 'never)
		  ((string= "slackware" group ) 'never)
        ;; never deleting a message                   
         ; ...
		  (t 7))))
        ;;all aother groups are deleted after 7 days
