I completly agree with you , but imagine that you going on holidays

you receive lot of email during this period .
you reach your quota and don't receive mail anymore ?
I think it's better to block user for sending but continue to
receive mail .
what you think about this ?
i think if the user knows ahead of time that they will be leaving,
they can ask the mail administrators to raise their quota temporarily
while they're gone. if they fail to do so and their mailbox
overflows, it's their own fault.
of course if you do this for a user, find out when they're coming
back, and give them a date after they return when their quota will be
returned to normal, so that they aren't surprised when their larger
quota goes away. of course, don't forget to set their quota back to
their normal limit- otherwise the users will get used to the larger
quota and come to expect it all the time, which is a good way to fill
up a hard drive.
