The reason it exceeds the mail limit is because "Sendmail" is a process run by root (which obviously has no quota). To limit the size of a mail box you have to add a line in the sendmail.cf that says limit mail box size, I would tell you how to do it, but I left my sendmail book at home (Doh!) just look it up on the sendmail webpage, or if you have the O'Reilly book you are in good shape.
