Funny, I'd say the exact opposite. Being over quota is a transient error
and should be treated as such IMO.

The one thing that angered my users more than anything else was when I
had sendmail running (delivering with procmail) and it bouncing mail to
users that were over quota.

But I guess this is one of those religious issues that should be avoided.
