As a result of exceeding the size limit, you will receive a warning notice to reduce your mailbox when it approaches the authorized limit and you will lose the ability to send email when the mailbox reaches its authorized limit. If you fail to take action to reduce the size of the mailbox, you will also lose the ability to receive email and a non-delivery notification will be received by anyone attempting to send to your mailbox. To assist you in managing the size of your mailbox, several resources are available with the links noted in a complete pdf of all TTPs at https://esd-crm.csd.disa.mil/app/answers/detail/a_id/1639.
