We have seen this behaviour when the sending mail to mailboxes which are
over their quota on IMail 6.03, and as you've seen it's a pain... We can see
this causing a great deal of confusion with our users. As an aside we'd
quite like notifications to be added the spec of IMail so that user actually
gets notified when they reach or get within a percentage of their quota,
this can not be that hard...
