I agree with everything you wrote but only when bayes autolearning is
turned off.  Bayes learning holds an exclusive lock to the bayes
database particularly during expiration.

If spamc does bayes autolearning and starts an expiration then other
spamc runs for that user will be locked out of bayes.  At some point
you start getting timeouts at different points in the email delivery
chain.

Automatic expiry is strongly discouraged for this reason; there should be a scheduled cron job that does the expiry.
