vmm is used to manage virtual mail domains and virtual mail users.
A domain directory will be create in:
        /var/lib/vmm/${RAND(a-z09)}/${GID_of_DOMAIN}

The virtual mail users home directory¹ will be created beneath the
domain directory. Dovecot will store the user's e-mails in an directory
(Maildir, sdbox or mdbox) inside the virtual user's home directory, e.g.
        /var/lib/vmm/${RAND(a-z09)}/${GID_of_DOMAIN}/${UID}/${DIR}
        expands for example to : /var/lib/vmm/x/70000/70000/Maildir

It's also possible, that virtual users store their sieve scripts (via
managesieve) in ~/.sieve -> e.g. /var/lib/vmm/x/70000/70000/.sieve

Owners below /var/lib/vmm/[0-9a-z]
----------------------------------

        /var/lib/vmm/$X/70000       =     0:70000 / 0770
        /var/lib/vmm/$X/70000/70001 = 70001:70000 / 0700

If the directories /var/lib/vmm/[0-9a-z] are empty, the could be
removed. Otherwise they may contain domain directories with user
directories, which may contain e-mails.
I don't think it's great idea to purge away user's e-mail, when the page
is purged.
