All user mail, or just business-related mail? If you want to skip all per-user mail, skipping over /home/*/Mail could do it. If this machine is configured with individual users and individual home directories, that is. You can also ignore per-user config files, /home/*/.* except for ones you decide are important. And if mozilla's running on your server be sure to chop out /home/*/.mozilla, browser cache is kept there.

But none of that works if people aren't running things in their home directories on the server. It really depends how the machine is configured.
