Are there any plans to allow MTA check recipient over quota status?

Sendmail support simple "socket map" protocol that can be used for 
such queries.

It should allow to reject (not all) messages 
a) in replies to "RCPT TO:"
   for messages with right message size passed in "MAIL FROM:"
b) in replies to "the final dot" for single recipient messages.

P.S.
Cyrus IMAP supports "socket map" :-)
