I've written a patch to do this for maildirs. I would write it for you
for mboxes but I hate that format now =). Just change case
EDQUOT:nlog("The user's quota has exceeded. Please try again later.");
to whatever message you prefer for the bounce message. It's located at
http://www.ee.ucr.edu/~isaldana/procmail/quotas.html if you want to take
a look at the concept (it's trivial). This is based on the file systems
quotas. So you just set the quotas for the user and it should work.
BTW, does anyone know if the development of procmail is frozen? While I
think it's the best, there could be features and fixes added to it.

Does anyone know how to check the quota, and, in case that some user
is
overquota, bounce back the mail to the sender? Is it possible to do?
Somewhere in the quota handling part of the rule, add the following:
EXITCODE=69
this number comes from the fact that that's the code mail.local would
use:
% grep EX_UNAVAILABLE /usr/include/sysexits.h
* EX_UNAVAILABLE -- A service is unavailable. This can
occur
#define EX_UNAVAILABLE 69 /* service unavailable */
I'm not sure how to provide arbitrary text for sendmail to include
with
the
bounce it will generate from that exit code.
