Guys, you are mixing up user quota and the "disk full" or better "no space left on device" situation. The whole point of my question or rather "feature request" was, to change the behavior of Dovecot when the whole disk (read: affects all users,regardless of their set quota and its current usage) is full and there is no space left to store any new messages.
Dovecot already does support to either reject or defer on a reached quota of a particular user. The problem I was talking about is the agreeably rather seldom admin f&$"-up of not properly maintaining the disk space or any other resource. But in the end, I hate to punish users (a.k.a "people") and send them looking for their bounced email because of this very temporary problem.
