Where have I configured that? I'm just using maildir: in the
mail_location, and if I create a subdirectory with my MUA, in the
server on the filesystem it will separate it from the parent with a
dot. Is this configurable?

I think, it should display that it found an "expire = something" entry
in dovecot.conf, and that it could find a matching directory under the
mail_location. While iterating over the messages that it has found, it
would be nice if it would write an info line with each message,
including the message's path/name, the message's expire date in the
future, that it has been expunged, or that it would have been expunged,
but the --test option was set.
Like:
$ .../expire-tool --test
expire = spamassassin.SPAM 1 spamassassin.HAM 1
match: /var/virtualmaildir/user1/Maildir/.spamassassin.SPAM/

Of course without the --test option it wouldn't have to write the (not
really) part.
Anyway, something like the above :)
