6.4 After set expire values cyrus starter is slower
***************************************************
By default cyrus is configured in cyrus.conf to run delprune to
remove expired messages at startup (START). Then messages will be
processed before listen for connections. You should disable delprune
at startup and add it to EVENTS:
delprune cmd="/usr/sbin/cyr_expire -E 3" at=0100
So messages will be expired at 1pm. all days.
