We run Postfix + Cyrus and a some of our users are often "over quota". Using virtual alias maps in postfix for aliases, leads to the following effect: the mail is "splitted" by postfix and then requeued for a evety recipient of the alias (not the alias itself). If submission fails (e.g. "over quota"), then the mail stays in the queue and submission is retried regularly. As the mail was already splitted before the submission attempt to the mailbox, only the mail for the mailbox that's failing is kept in the queue. Hope that helps...
