Seems to be a sensitive issue. If I understand the arguments correctly, the arguments for are:
* email that has been classified as spam that is past X days old is unlikely to be useful. * spam accumulating in /var could bring the system to its knees if let go uncheck. * therefore it is wise to delete emails that have been classified as spam that are older then X days. * this should be the default to ensure the computer doesn't stop working. The arguments against are: * email that has been classified as spam could still be important even if it is past X days old. * everyone will have different requirements, for some people the only way to find out for certain is with manual checking. * it is better to default to the option that preserves too many emails rather then the option that deletes emails. * system monitoring should be used to ensure /var doesn't fill up.
