You can write a script to do whatever checks you want, but you can't
call it like this. If you write your script to accept the message on
STDIN, add headers to the message depending on your checks, and then
return the result via STDOUT, then you can call it like this in your
.mailfilter (or /etc/courier/maildroprc) file:
xfilter myscript.php
Then you can use maildrop's scripting to decide what to do with the
message depending on what headers your script added.
man maildropfilter

You don't need deliverquota to check quota. This is available from
within maildrop now. Call it like this:
| /usr/lib/courier/bin/maildrop -w 90
This will check quota (if there is one), and send a warning message if
the mailbox is more than 90% full.
man maildrop
