Add code to pop3d which deletes everything that hasn't been deleted yet
when pop3d receives a QUIT.

Don't do something stupid like deleting everything just before the process
terminates.  Or someone who crashes in a middle of downloading the first
message in a hundred message mailbox will wind up with losing all of his
mail.

A much better solution would be a cron job that goes through everyone's
Maildir/cur and Maildir/new, and deletes all messages older than a certain
number of days.
