Since the users don't have accounts, their mailboxes belong to some
non-system mailstore (Cyrus, ...) use whatever quota mechanisms exist
in the store in question. With maildir delivery use filesystem quotas
(which you can assign per uid). If your filesystem quotas are fragile
pick a better OS for your mailserver or a mailstore with a reasonably
robust application-level quota system.
