For the first part of the issue maybe you could use Postfix's 
smtpd_restriction_classes combined with Dovecot's quota_grace, as 
described in this older thread:
https://dovecot.markmail.org/thread/5sa563icpv2os2nb#query:+page:1+mid:gkhwgzfvipzaixtl+state:results

I haven't tried it though.

Cheers,

Kevin
