Implementing Mail box Size limits

Hiow do I implement mailbox size limits after the fact?
I have Exchange 2003 with approx. 200 mailboxes on it. The administrator prior to me did not set up mailbox size limits and now some of these mailboxes are out of control.
My question is...
Can I implement the size limit even though there will be mailboxes that are bigger than the limit?
What will happen to the peiople that are too big?
Can I implement different size limitations for different groups?

Thanks.

alternatively....you can set global limits but i would be careful as well, just as Simon mentioned, especially for those users who has already crossed the threshold.

you can set global limits by going into your Exchange System Manager and then...

Global Settings----Message Delivery----Righ Click----Properties-----Defualt Tab
You will need to make sure that your incoming and outgoing limits are the same to whatever limits you decide on.

But once again....Simon is correct on how you setup limits after the fact and the issues on your existing users.
