Sounds like you have EX2003 standard edition. I think you will need to upgrade
to Enterprise edition to resolve this. Then you can have multiple mail stores
and IIRC there is no such limit on size.

A good thing is to set quota on your users mailboxes, a limit to 300Mb or less.
This will learn them to clean up their boxes on a more regulary base.
Somehow,, if not you need to upgrade to Enterprice edition or Exchange 2007.
