I just realized, I've been lying to you.

I don't bother matching, as anything that doesn't get matched
ends up in the "default" YARN account, where it is automatically
deleted by another process later.

In other words, my mail accont under Yarn is not the default one,
it's a separate one. This because I have multiple users anyway.
