Just a quick idea or two off the top of my head, but:
1. Modify procmail to exit status 100 on quota exceeded.
2. (Untested, but logically sound, methinks...) Use a shell conditional
to exit 100 on a procmail failure -- this depends on how likely other
procmail failures are, I guess -- if procmail fails for any reason, mail
will bounce....
Here's a slick little item from the qmail archives, that I found while
making sure I wasn't off base here:
