We have several users who are constantly going over disk quotas because they are not picking up their email.

Right now I have around 400 msgs in the Courier message queue because of these.

Is there a way to set up a .mailfilter or another mechanism to bounce emails for that user, responding to the sender that they are over quota, rather than waiting for my queue to time out?

I suppose this would need execution of an external program to check their quota... but beyond handling that I could use some pointers.

I don't think an external program should be needed to check the disk quota at all. When trying to write a file owned by a user that is at their quota limit the write should return -EDQUOTA. Courier should just check for that error, and generate a bounce accordingly. More than likely the file that was being written will just be truncated so it should be removed.
