When I send an email to this account, sendmail accepts the email and

Any suggestions on how to avoid this and produce a 5xx error for
overquota users before accepting the email would be greatly
appreciated..

That should be the default. "quota_full_tempfail" setting controls it,
do you have it commented out in the config file? (unfortunately lda
section isn't listed with dovecot -n)
