You can set up retry rules that apply only to over-quota errors, but
that applies only to over-quota on the local box. As I understand it,
that won't help you. What I suppose you could do is to set up a router
that recognizes these messages by sender or other means, and have it
also use something like
condition = ${if >{$message_age}{1200}}
and let it do the blackholing. That assumes that if you haven't managed
to deliver it to the current recipient after 1200 seconds, it should be
discarded.

The only way to get that is to write a script that pulls the information
out of the log.
