We expire with -n comp,misc,rec, etc., and I never added "alt" to the list when alt started. I also discovered we weren't having it delete "to", which gets the occasional test posting. So, if you're expiring with -n, make sure you're catching "alt", as well as any local groups and other bits 'n' pieces.
