You should get some 4?? error (temporary problem) in sendmail's reply to 
the "RCPT TO: over_quota_user at cyrus.domain"

So far nobody reported cyrus sending incorrect replies. My primary 
suspicion is that old releases of my "sendmail & cyrus integration" do 
not handle temporary lookup problems.

If you face the problem yourself:

1) Make sure that you use latest version of my "cyrus & sendmail" 
integration hints [some *old* releases do not handle temp problems]

2) Post results produced by the commands below of over quota user(s):
echo '/map cyrus user at example.net' | sendmail -bt
sendmail -d60.1 -bv user at example.net'
# the last one produce *a lot* of output
sendmail -d21.12 -d60.1 -bv user at example.net'


BTW
As of sendmail-8.13.0.Beta2 I can see no way to make sendmail.cf see nay 
difference between temporary problems e.g. it sees "TEMP Over Quota" and 
"nothing is listening on smmapd socket" in the same rubber bag.
