I've thought about changing the default over-quota handling so that the user would be allowed one final mail to go over quota, as long as the mail is smaller than the user's total quota. And in normal situations user's quota is higher than the max. allowed message size advertised by SMTP server. Then this setting wouldn't be useful.

rejection_subject setting can already change this, although it applies also for Sieve rejects.

Also in a preferred setup the rejection is done by replying failure to SMTP's RCPT TO command, in which case nothing else can be configured besides the one rejection string.

Spam is often sent this way.

Message size could possibly be added, but I think current space usage could be considered a privacy leak.
