Not familiar with Lotus Domino server... but they should have a utility to "Compact the database" or "pack it" or ???

Every database program has some utility to actually check pointers back and forth and purge those that are no longer pointing to the records (or in your case, pointing to e-mail contents). It's only a matter of finding the terminology that Lotus Domino uses to accomplish this.
