This works really well, UNLESS a user exceeds his/her quota: In that particular case, deliver fails to deliver the mail and generates a bounce, all on it's own.

It's exit status is 0 in that case, so my MTA (postfix) thinks that the mail has been delivered successfully.

I'd prefer deliver to return EX_TEMPFAIL, which I can pass through maildrop back to postfix, which will then log a temporary error and will bounce the mail all by itself after 5 days time.

CVS HEAD has a new quota_full_tempmail setting for this. But since you probably don't want to use CVS HEAD, your only choice is to modify the sources:

src/deliver/deliver.c line 708-709:

	if (temporary_error)
		return EX_TEMPFAIL;

Change that to simply:

	return EX_TEMPFAIL;
