Have a look in the dbmail-dev archives for the thread from
Febuary called "MTA return codes from dbmail-stmp", that may
provide you with some of the background.

IIRC, it was decided over-quota should be a temporary failure as
the recipient may clear his mailbox within the retry period. I
think that's in line with other MDAs. I believe a decision was
also made that the error messages are up to the MTA, not dbmail.
