OpenSMTPD and Dovecot run on the same machine. OpenSMTPD receives
incoming mails and stores them in a mailbox (/var/spool/mail/user).
Dovecot then fetches mails from this mailbox file.

Mailbox file is indeed very unoptimal, but at this moment I'm more
curious about the reason why I can't expunge mails... perhaps it'd
simpler with maildir, where it just means a simple file deletion.
