Yeah, well, the thing is that most of the users who are overquoted will
never ever come back anymore. I have a system with >100k users, so you can
imagine whats going on if I collect overquote e-mails. I guess hotmail.com
sends them back immidetely as well.

So you want messages destined for people who are overquota to be bounced
instead of queued locally? Because you're sending back a 550 code, even
the sending MTA won't retry.
Cyrus 2.1 now checks the quota at the time of the RCPT TO: command, as
well as after the DATA command (in case the usage changed in between).
I haven't thought about the consequences of what you are trying to do
with 2.1, but I'd guess that you're confusing your MTA by spitting back
a permanent failure to RCPT TO: (usually unknown user) because of an
over quota issue.
