We discussed hardquota's on the mailing list and alot of
admin's said they wanted the ability to get a message
through to the user even if they are over quota. Like.

"You are over quota, please delete some mail."

Security risk, only if someone sends 10,000
emails. I think you would notice the reception
of so many emails before the user ate up all
of your disk. The average small email is about
2K.
