Site Quota: 100mb

        User1 (admin) quota: 100mb
        User2 (admin) quota: 100mb
        User3 (admin) quota: 100mb
        User4 quota: 10mb
        User5 quota: 5mb
        User6 quota: 5mb
        User7 quota: 5mb

In this scenario, users 5, 6 & 7 have a 5mb limit - this keeps their 
mailbox from taking over the account

Users 1, 2, & 3 have the ability consume up to 100mb but only if other 
users have not already done so. (ie: this group is sandboxed to 100mb. And 
each individual can be limited within that 100mb.)

The quota thing allows you to sell a defined amount of space to somebody 
(admin) who can in turn resell his space to a number of other users and 
prevent any one of them from taking over.

It really isn't difficult and it's very flexible.
I hope this helps.
