No, the quota system is indisputably broken. We've had continuous problems with it not enforcing quotas and incorrectly reporting usage. For example, I have a brand-new user that repquota claims is more than 100% over quota with no grace period left: tootim +- 127264 40960 51200 none 325 0 0 yet this user only has 365K in their directory. A find on the drive shows no other files owned by them. And they are perfectly able to upload and create new files. Numerous posts on the subject have resulted in no responses. I'd say the only way to help with your problem is to hack mail.local to specifically stat the mail spool of the user and reject it if it's too large.
