Do you have the original local.cf in /etc/mail/spamassassin or do you
have it symlinked to spam.assassin.prefs.conf? Supposedly the
bayes_auto_expire setting is only honored in local.cf so if you have
that one symlinked to spam.assassin.prefs.conf, like I do, you're ok.

I did that so I wouldn't have to bother with the -C and -p options all
the time so that's a bonus.
