a) Using deliver -e, Postfix bounces the message immediately 5.7.0 -> Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender. Partial body: "<test@example.com>: permission denied. Command output: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)". Postfix does not retain the message.
Each of the four possibilites has advantages and disadvantages, and personally I think a) might be closest to "doing the right thing"...
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.
