Sounds similar to what I inherited at my current job. 1300+ users on a
2.1G drive running Post.Office on AIX. First thing I did was 
cd /var/spool/mailbox (Post.Office's default directory)
find . -mtime +30 | xargs rm -f
Regained almost a gig of space. If people hadn't pulled mail for a
month, it wasn't *that* important. 
I've just finished another machine to replace it with an 18G drive just
for /var/spool/mailbox, mirroring both rootvg and mailvg volume groups.
This will hopefully last until this summer when it will be replaced with
a linux/sendmail machine.
