What about have the feature configurable:

onExpires=off      // default
onExpires=drop   // discard expired mail without notice (my patch)
onExpires=bounce  // or other actions??
...

i think only the 'off' and 'drop' actions make sense!

If we 'bounce' an expired mail, other MTAs would/could drop it (as it is 
expired),
so the behavior would be unexpected - thus remains the 'drop' action to 
be the only
useful.

regards,

Marcel
