Check the usual FTP archive sites for alternative possibilities. -=EPS=-

You can find it in (I think) /pub/next/1.0-release/sources on sonata.cc.purdue.edu. It will mail users who are over disk quota and disable them automatically. I have spent many hours hacking this to my particular system. It all works fairly well, except that I haven't added automatic re-enabling of accounts after the specified period of time. With all due respect to Marc for his work, it's a kludgey hack, when all is said and done. You will need some expertise in shell scripts and C programming to get it all working somewhat well. NeXT ! Include quotas in the kernel in 3.0!!! (or 2.2, even better... :-)
