That's something from upstream rather than from the FastMail patches. I can see that it's unwanted behaviour, but by the same token I accept the logic behind it: a) don't break current installations (you can't require a -X parameter) b) have as similar behaviour to the current as possible (never deleting mail by default would fill up people's drives with deleted spams, besides which the performance hit would suck over time, having those huge cyrus.expunge files sitting around) c) there is no (c) d) oh yeah, adding a "cyr_expire_expunge_default_keep_forever = yes" flag to cyrus.index is ugly and extra complex and not that much different from -X $INTMAX anyway.
