Ok, thanks.
But :)
What is strange for me is disk usage.

du -s -h /var/mail/attachments/8b/67/

16M     /var/mail/attachments/8b/67/

check indes
ls -i /var/mail/attachments/8b/67/

Is this correct?
As I read about hard link - links should point to the same inode, each link.

So how to get real disk usage for the folder with attachments?
