This is a valid argument for having each domain created/owned by an unprivileged system user. When you do that, you have handy tools like repquota to help you manage your disk space usage. When used in conjunction with a perl script, I can format and report the disk space for 10,000 domains in about 6 seconds.
I've further taken that report and for all domains that are within 90% of their quota, check the disk usage for each user within the domain and report the disk space hogs. That report takes a couple minutes to run but is invaluable. Otherwise, Doug's heading down the right path. Write yourself a script that loops for each domain, and then each user within the domain, and go through and start counting up the bits. You'll likely have issues with depending on the maildirquota file so make sure that if that file doesn't exist, you fall back to a more expensive but accurate method like "du".
