I'm having issues with my users blowing their storage quotas

Consider this...
User is at storage limit.
User checks mail.
/var/mail/user gets copied to /var/spool/poptemp/.user.pop
New mail comes into /var/mail/user
System cannot combine the 2 files back because it exceeds
using file system quota's was the only way I could see doing it. Care to
share in a little more detail on how to get sendmail to do this?
Thanks!
