If you can write the necessary logic in Perl, you could use embedded
Perl in a "condition" option on some director to do the check. If the
answer is "over quota" you could, for example, run the director as an
aliasfile with a single default entry such as
*: :defer: user is over quota
This has the advantage that it will time out in due course.
