Hmm, I just looked at the "vpm-wwwhelper" code and it's got a call to "rm
-rf", so maybe there is some problem in the code where it's not calling the
helper on user remove, or there is some problem with that code.  You are
running 1.42, right?

Probably just ask the database for the list of e-mail home-directories, and
compare that with the directories that exist under that domain directory.
A simple SQL query could pull out the list for just a single domain, so the
comparison should be easy enough.  Or you could turn it around and for each
home directory in a domain, query the database to see if it's listed there.

Thanks,
Sean
