ALL temporary errors become permanent if they persist for long enough. That's what timeouts are all about. Messages get bounced when servers are down for sufficiently long. I don't see why over quota errors are any different. People don't have infinite disk space to store undelivered messages for ever. And anyway, think about it. If I send a message to someone and their mailbox is over quota, I would like to be told about it in some reasonable timescale.
