Yes. This is well documented, see:

On your local delivery transport:
quota = 50M # (or whatever)

To include current message add:
quota_is_inclusive = true # this is the default behaviour

With an appropriate retry rule like this:
# Domain               Error       Retries
# ------               -----       -------
# all                  quotas      fail if mailbox not read for 6h
*                      quota_6h

I don't understand that question.
