Assuming one chooses a) as a preference, the current default is not
far from a). The only functional difference I can see (at least as far
as 'over quota' is concerned) is who sends the bounce (and
subsequently - what message the bounce contains). If that's the case,
it's a matter of which notification the mail admin prefers.
