I recently delted a TON of stuff, and also moved mail out of users mailbox.
However, my database stays the same size at 25 Gig. I heard not to run
EDBUTIL unless there is a problem. How else can I make the database
recoginze these changes? It has been a few days already and no change on the
database, even with the deleted mailboxes, moved mail and deleted items....

You should not run edbutil until you have a problem ... like this one. The
DB will not shrink by itself - Exchange likes to retain the 'white space'
for further expansion.
