You can start with something like this.

Of course this script need to be run with sudo or under root

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

MAXSIZE=50
USERID_BOUNDARY=1000 # normaly regular userid start at a certain number, low userid habitualy are reserved for the system and applications
IFS=":"

while read username two userid groupid five homedir rest
do
    if [ "$userid" -gt "$USERID_BOUNDARY" ] ; then
       MAILADRES="$username@server.com"
       if [ "du -sm $homedir | cut -f 1" > "$MAXSIZE" ] ; then
           echo "$homedir too big" | /usr/sbin/sendmail $MAILADRES
           echo "test";
       fi
    fi
done < /etc/passwd

FBB::User(3bobcat)					       /etc/passwd user info						FBB::User(3bobcat)

NAME

       FBB::User - Provides the /etc/passwd info of the current user

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bobcat/user>
       Linking option: -lbobcat

DESCRIPTION

       This  class  retrieves  the information of the current user from the information in /etc/passwd. The class is a simple wrapper class around
       the getpwent(3) function.

NAMESPACE

       FBB
       All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.

INHERITS FROM

       -

CONSTRUCTORS

       o      User():
	      The default constructor determines the current user's data.  This constructor throws an Errno exception if it did not properly  com-
	      plete because the current user name could not be found in /etc/passwd.  The copy and move constructors are available.

OVERLOADED OPERATORS

       The copy and move assignment operators are available.

MEMBER FUNCTIONS

       o      size_t groupid() const:
	      Returns the user's group-id.

       o      std::string homedir() const:
	      Returns the user's home directory (including a trailing /).

       o      std::string name() const:
	      Returns the user's user-name.

       o      std::string password() const:
	      Returns the user's encrypted password. But see also the BUGS section.

       o      std::string realname() const:
	      Returns the user's real name, as listed in the /etc/passwd's gecos field.

       o      std::string shell() const:
	      Returns the user's shell.

       o      size_t userid() const:
	      Returns the user's user-id.

       o      void verify() const:
	      Obsoleted, will be removed in a future Bobcat release.

EXAMPLE

       #include <bobcat/user>
       #include <iostream>

       using namespace std;
       using namespace FBB;

       int main()
       {
	   User  user;
	   user.verify();

	   cout << "
"
	       "name	   : " << user.name()	   << "
" <<
	       "password   : " << user.password()  << "
" <<
	       "user id    : " << user.userid()    << "
" <<
	       "group id   : " << user.groupid()   << "
" <<
	       "real name  : " << user.realname()  << "
" <<
	       "home dir   : " << user.homedir()   << "
" <<
	       "shell	   : " << user.shell()	   << "
" << endl;

	   return 0;
       }

FILES

       bobcat/user - defines the class interface

SEE ALSO

       bobcat(7), getpwent(3)

BUGS

       If the user is a member of multiple groups, only the group id listed in /etc/passwd is returned by groupid().

       If shadow passwording is used, the string returned by password() will probably not contain the encrypted password.
