The current version of Courier, under its default settings, will
accept one message to an overquota account, which will sit in the
mailq, but all further messages to this address will get turned away
with a 4xx, until such time that the message in the mail queue gets
delivered.

That's not what I'm seeing.  I have not seen a single quota rejection
in my maillog.  One of my over-quota users has six messages in the
queue right now.

That's why wrote "under its default settings".

All I see in the log is repeated "maildir over quota" and "status:
deferred" messages coming from courierlocal.

Are there any permissions issues that could be involved?  Where are
the settings that control this behavior?

The BOFHSUPPRESSBACKSCATTER setting in the bofh configuraton file, and the ESMTP_BLOCKBACKSCATTER in the courierd configuration file.
