Well, I would use the MTA's quota features as the MTA can handle quota
problems at SMTP time.
Otherwise your MTA has accepted a message and passes it to the LDA.
When the recipient's account is over quota, what will yiur server do
with this mail?
When already the MTA checks if the account is over quota, the sender
gets a 4xx "Error", your server has no need to deal with a bounce, and
the sender is well-informed.

Regards,
Christian Schmidt
