as workaround it should be possible to calculate filllevel
by domain with some bash script and cron sending  an info mail to you
might be not exact, but enough to see whats going on ( depends on your
real domain/mailbox setup...maildir etc)

i.e like
du -sch schetterer.org/
1,7G    schetterer.org/

or

du -sch schetterer.org/*
24K     schetterer.org/.... at schetterer.org
431M    schetterer.org/... at schetterer.org
1,3G    schetterer.org/.... at schetterer.org
1,7G    sum

perhaps  the same works with getting it out from sql
