Yeah, our campus email users get such a lovely letter; The email that will
cause the user to go over their quota (there is only one quota, no soft vs
hard) is bounced with the message that the email will cause the user to go
over quota. The really nice thing about this is that I will then no longer
get messages from my users (3-4 a day) telling me they're over their quota
and could i increase it temporarily so that they can delete their email.

We wrote a perl script which notifies users nightly when they're over
their soft quota. This helps the users who did not go over a huge
amount and can be notified. And because the grace period is 7 days,
they get 5-6 messages before account is blocked. Of course it doesn't
help the people who suddenly get a huge attachment and go over their
hard quota.
I would love to hear from anyone who was able to tweak procmail or
dmail to give a nice message when the message being delivered will put
the person over soft quota.
The only problem with that, as far as I know, is even with
local_procmail under sendmail, this still happens post-accept. Of
course, this is the imap list and has not much to do with that end of
things, but it *is* a really cool idea.
