If I recall, sendmail bouces with a surprising sensible and accurate
message. qmail also bounces, with something along the lines of "error
writing user's mailbox".

Mail bounces.
Another way to solve the problem is to have mail delivered to home
directories, and let their "normal" quota take care of the problem. Some
mail deliverers like to deliver to ~/Mailbox as default, like qmail for
example.
