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.
