Oh, it's a rejection.. I guess it's because it's handled the same way as "out of quota". Two things you can do:

a) give -e parameter to deliver, so it exits with the proper code instead of sending a new "rejected" message via sendmail. (I think I should have made this the default in v2.0.. Maybe I could change it in v2.1.)

b) quota_full_tempfail = yes to have it exit with tempfail rather than a permanent failure
