the solution is to implement "soft quotas" and a grace period. For
mail, I have it set to one month. So if my users exceed 250Mb, they
are warned every day. I also have a hard limit aat 1Gb just to be
sure. It would be nice if the hard limit was only in effect if
space is tight.

anyway, what you want sounds nice. I do not know of a solution.
Probably Cyrus will come closest. Maybe even courier.
