Technical notes:
1) given you're already at /var, the "*" is superfluous.
2) if you omit the -s, you get the "drilling down" for free:
47100 ./db
40126 ./db/pkg
13160 ./log
10738 ./log/samba
5554 ./mail
3688 ./spool
3656 ./spool/clientmqueue
2072 ./db/scrollkeeper
1648 ./db/clamav
1096 ./db/pkg/teTeX-texmf-2.0.2_3
796 ./db/pkg/linux_base-8-8.0_6
at the cost of a much longer list.
I have it set up so this runs as a cron job and is waiting in
the morning e-mail.
