I'm having an issue with postfix aliases and full mailboxes. I have an alias:

mygroup:  user1 user2 user3

When I send email to mygroup, it is successfully delivered to user1 and user2, 
but user3 has a full mailbox (hit the mailbox_size_limit). So the message gets 
queued:

B9A8C3052E4D     1207 Fri May 16 10:03:05  sen...@mydomain.net
                                               (can't create user output file)
                                         us...@mydomain.net
                                         mygr...@mydomain.net

Ten minutes later Postfix redelivers the message to the whole group, so user1 
and user2 get another copy, and this repeats with every delivery attempt so 
that everyone ends up with a half dozen copies of the same message.

Of course user3 should clean up his mailbox, but I'd still like to prevent the 
duplicate deliveries if possible.
