So user might not even realize that they didn't receive one of the mails. Also having a user "almost over quota" is a rather strange state I think.

Except add a limit that if the message size is as much as the user's entire quota limit it wouldn't be added (or 50% or ..?). Also IMAP wouldn't allow this, since user would get an error anyway. I could make this also optional, but if nobody really wants to keep the old behavior there's really no point in adding the option.

This will finally make possible to reject RCPT TO: before the message size is 
known instead of accepting the message and sending a bounce later (bouncing SPAM 
is not good).
