I am goig to install a mail server (sendmail-in RedHat7.3) for my office, and my boss want to limit the disk usage for user's mail, so i must use quotas, ok but i am thinking in one probleme:
when the mail of user x take all the permitted space, all the future email will be deleted !!!.

I suppose i should write a script (exemple :perl), this script will verify daily the user's quotas and if the space is full it send a warning email to that users so he must free some space.

But i have no isea to do this i am sur there is somewhere help to how do this ...?
Can somebody help me ?
