How can you limit a user's disk space?

Does anyone know how you can absolutely disallow a user from using more than
a pre-defined amount of disk space. Can you somehow limit the size of an
allowable email message?

I just had a user whose email file contained 321 megabytes of stuff!! Seems
he was using us as some sort of data-warehouse - I haven't any idea what he
was doing, but he has only logged in 35 minutes in a month! I can see that
users like this can cripple a system. (This 321 megs of data came in during
the last 5 hours)

-Thanks
