1)
./vdeldomain will completely remove everything on your machine
associated with their virtual domain email.
2) If you are supporting 1 or 2 domains, use the large site option,
otherwise use the small site option.
3) ./vdeluser will completely remove everything on your machine
associated with that users virtual domain email account.
What doesn't happen is.. the dynamic directory allocation
scheme doesn't do a re-organization of the file system layout.
It would be possible to write a re-org program. I haven't needed
one yet.
