> How do other providers deal with this?

I make /var reasonably large and if it starts getting within a few 10's of
megabytes of full, send nasty mail to the pigs.  If it becomes critical,
I compress the mailbox and put it in their home directory.  If their home
directory overflows their quota, that's their problem, but I don't have to
deal with bounced mail and they don't get kicked off mailing lists.  I
would probably automate it if were a real problem, but it's pretty rare.
