30G     vmail/

33G   var

i think in vmail its bigger size.

how about the 150gb. its all system files.

[christian]

So, you have the answer to your question isn't it 
This is (again) mail related 

Did you set some size limit in mail configuration?
How many mail users do your have?

[robb]

If you have the space, why set quotas on mail?
Imo it is better to 'educate' your users to put attachments on a datashare instead using mail as store. An option like the zarafa plugin for owncloud or alfresco might be a nice solution. (I know, you are not using zarafa, but it is more like a working option than a possibility for your situation.)

[christian]

Robb, I share but educating is difficult 
Joke aside, even if you don't want to apply quota at mailbox level (which I can understand although it may have some side effect, not only in term of disk space but also in term of backup and global performance), I'm convinced that limiting maximum mail size is a good practice.

Back to quotas: I don't know any (big) company that is offering "no limit" mailboxes for all employees. I don't know any neither that is applying quotas without exception for some key users (VIP) but Zentyal permits this very easily except if you have lot of users because exception is not managed by profile but per account.

@aspangilinan: be sure you have also set expiration for deleted ans spam messages.
