Make a cron task that checks all the quotas and mails those that are over. If you track quotas on the mail spool then this obviously doesn't work -- sending mail to a full mail spool will get you a bounced msg back. Optionally put `quota -q' in the systemwide shell startup files. or the skeleton ones in /usr/share/skel so that all new users will get notices.
