mailbox full alert   (+1)  [vote for, against]
sends SMS alert or voicemail when mailbox is full

As a listmanager I often get bounced e-mail because the mailbox of a listmember is full. Many never find out until someone tells them. Every ISP should offer the option to have an SMS message send to the user or perhaps a prerecorded voicemail about a flooded mailbox. ISPs can then also start selling mailboxes with an extremely limited size. A positive side effect is that people get educated not to send unsollicited attachments but to copy- paste texts from Word documents into the e-mail for example.

my only concern would be giving my sms info to the isp, it could be used for other advertizing.
