Postfix/Rejecting_over-quota_during_SMTP_transaction_with_LDA
From http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2009-10/0956.html
Dovecot LDA doesn't reject during SMTP session and generates a bounce, would prefer to reject instead.
Another user mentioned http://mundoopensource.blogspot.com/2009/09/utilizando-o-postfix-quota-reject-20.html , see thread for details.

IIRC Wolfram <http://wolfram.schlich.org/> has been working on some code that does exactly what you are looking for. I don't know which state his project is in. Look for yourself.
