One argument in favour of using MTA quotas is that the MTA can send a
warning to the user
when the quota usage crosses a certain threshold (the MTA needs to check the

quota at delivery time anyways). If you're using OS (FS) quotas, it's more
difficult
to send warnings/error messages in response to quota levels (you'd need some
extra jobs
running which check levels and send out messages).
