On the next mail delivery user is already over quota, so the size of the mail is irrelevant because a mail of any size will be rejected. The initial quota-status implementation didn't even support SIZE extension since I didn't remember it existed.

I think this was the whole point of writing a policy service for Postfix. I'm not *talking* about quotas that will be handled  by the delivery agents...

Either you're still misunderstanding me, or vice versa. The quota rejections can be done complete in SMTP side even without SIZE:

1) quota at 99% :

MAIL FROM:<sender at example.com>
250 2.1.0 Ok
RCPT TO:<tss at dovecot.org>
250 2.1.0 Ok
DATA
...
.
250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 12345

2) quota is now at 103% :

MAIL FROM:<sender2 at example.com>
250 2.1.0 Ok
RCPT TO:<tss at dovecot.org>
554 5.2.2 User is over quota
