Thank you, it works!

May I use the same wildcard syntax ('*') when configuring the expire
plugin?  Something like:

mail_plugins = $mail_plugins expire

plugin {
   expire = *
}

or

plugin {
   expire = '*'
}


?


Best regards,

It should work, but I'm not sure if it's actually all that helpful.
Might be more work to keep updating the expire database than to simply go
through all users.
