it depends on the delivery agent you picked :)
there are some in /var/qmail/boot (read the INSTALL file)
if you're delivering to $HOME/Mailbox or /var/spool/mail/$USER you could pipe
the message through a simple program that checks the size/quota and acts
acordingly. (I don't know where you can find such a program, anyone?)
anyway, to do this kind of quota enforcing i would choose the standard
"file-system quotas" and apply this:
http://www.qmail.org/qmail-1.03-quotas-1.1.patch
good luck,
ratao
