my understanding
you need quota-grace to make sure  mailbox get overquota for setup
percent, if there ist no quota-grace ( like in 2.1.x ), most mail will
be bounced by normal lda/lmtp quota rules , so policy quota always will
seen some free space in the mailbox, unless the rare case that one (
last ) mail fits the mailbox quota in exact 100 percent
