For /var/mail there are two things you need to do. One, you need to use a
local mailer that honours quotas. Something like procmail is a good
replacement
Mlocal, P=/usr/local/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9P, S=10/30,
R=20/40,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u
Then
edquota sampleuser
gets you
Quotas for user sampleuser:
/var/mail: blocks in use: 0, limits (soft = 10, hard = 20)
inodes in use: 0, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0)
WOuld mean that the user can permanently store 10M of data and can
periodically go above to upto 20. But once above 10, they have to bop it
down below 10 in 7 days.

Sorry, you want the user to have 40M total, or 10M total ? Or do you mean
you dont want the whole group getting more than 40M ?
