Group quota is in fact implemented.. we use it all the time!
Each user has a client_id field. This way you can group users.
You'll have to add a table though to configure the max quota per
client_id group.
And add an interface to assign total quota's for such a group.
We connected dbmail to our client information system. Each client has x
mailboxes
and y quotum. She / he can divide the quota over the mailboxes with the
max of the
groupquota on the client_id.
I hope this makes sence ;)
Good luck!

I want to allow clients to add as many addresses/accounts as they
wish, but to limit their total storage space. While you could allow
the client to manage the quota for each account, and limit the total
through your management interface, it works against the KISS
principle.
I'm assuming here that the client_idnr field can be used for grouping
mailboxes together.
