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.

Have I correctly represented both your positions?
