I would assume that the default behavior would be that ACTION_EXPIRED_DATED and ACTION_ANCIENT_DATED would be the same so that the only people who got the new behavior would be the ones who wanted it. There are other ways to clean up the pending dir (PENDING_CLEANUP_ODDS). What I assume is happening is that my ancient dated address is getting culled from USENET along with another email address used for joe-jobbing. The joe-jobbed address sees my confirmation request and, not remembering who he/she sent email to, confirms it. This results in me getting spammed and the joe-jobbed guy getting annoyed. By creating the concept of an ancient dated address, I can avoid both of these things. But, of course, the default would be to not automatically engage this behavior. If you wanted it, you'd have to set it up. Jason, do you have an opinion?
