One thing you could do, is reconfigure your MTA (ie. sendmail, zmailer
etc), so that it delivers mail to /home/bob/.mailbox for example, then
simply enforce quotas on the users homedir which is quite easy to do. This
method is used a lot by ISPs. You may have to do a little more if you are
using a centralized NFS server to store users home directories.
