my organization has introduced filesystem quotas that are proving to be

(temporary failure. Command output: maildrop: error writing to mailbox.)
How can I make maildrop report this as a permanent failure so that
Postfix will immediately bounce the message back to the sender?

there a way to give an informational message back to the sender to let
them know this user is over their quota?
