How about this, added to hg:
plugin {
# LDA/LMTP allows saving the last mail to bring user from under quota to
# over quota, if the quota doesn't grow too high. Default is to allow as
# long as quota will stay under 10% above the limit. Also allowed e.g. 10M.
#quota_last_extra = 10%%
}
Each quota root has its own limit, so if using multiple quota roots
(pretty rare) you'd have to set also quota2_last_extra, etc.
I wonder if there's a better name for this than "last_extra"..
