Ah I understand :)

It should be relatively easy to add an interceptor to the broker to do
this kinda thing...
http://incubator.apache.org/activemq/interceptors.html
where you could overload the send() method and keep around counts for
the messages/message sizes per connection/session/producer whatever
Agreed.. The coupled with user security so that users need a valid
userid/password would also allow you to track usage to a specific
user. If there were any limits exceeded your custom broker plugin
could (1) disconnect the user and (2) send a message to queue that
disabled the user account.
you want. The only real question is what to do if a user exceeds their
quota - close them?
Yeah. and disable the account. So that subsequent connect fails too :)
