I'm not aware of any way to do this within Mailman, at least not without 
changing the source code.  But I wouldn't recommend doing a Linux quota 
system either -- that would probably just cause Mailman to lock up 
completely.

You might want to consider a separate monitoring script that runs 
continuously and cleans out any cruft, or maybe slice your queue runners 
for that part of the system so that you can handle the load better.
