The beauty of *nix: write a cronjob to do it manually.  Just hack a perl
script or something that'll check the size of their mail spool and delete
it if it's too big, run it every 12 hours or something.

And besides, this is a mail quota, it's part of nearly every mail system
-- if the user doesn't delete their mail, they eventually don't get any.
That seems like good incentive to me to learn how to delete one's mail. :)
