As far as I know there isn't a way to actually see this from cyrus.
For know I have a script that goes over every mailbox and does a a du  
and cyrus quota lookup.  If they are to much different (e.g. 200MB  
difference) I force an expunge.

This also catches mailboxes that haven't been expired like it should be.

An other way to catch clients that are misbehaving is to count nr of  
entries for user_deny for that user in the log file.  The client that  
is misbehaving is always at the head of the list.
