95 percent of the time over quotta does not clear itself up. Its
usually users that have there client setup to 'leave a copy of all
messages on server' for eternity. They usually do not understand the
warning message that tells them clearly they have reached 90 percent
of there mail quotta either. But to be fair most cannot be expected
to understand they just want it to work.
