Wow!  If you have users complaining about 15MB, let alone 100MB, you 
probably need to teach them that email isn't a file transfer protocol 
;)  If somebody needs to send a file that large, they should be emailing 
the link, and not the file.

A 200MB quota seems more than generous, except for the fact that you're 
allowing them to reach their quota with only 2 messages.  Perhaps 
allowing the users to "misuse" their email account in this way is what 
is causing the complaints?
