You ;) Seriously though, you would run some sort of audit every so often that compares mailboxes to your authentication database. We also delete mailboxes after a fixed amount of time with no logins for our free accounts, or a time after which they stopped paying for our paid accounts, which I guess is similar to graduating... I guess you could add an option to cyr_expire to query the authentication database for each user.* mailbox and optionally delete it if the user was no longer present. Dangerous if your authentication daemon is offline though! For that matter, does sasl let you check if a user exists without knowing their password?
