I understand your concern, but the problem is that by definition, if a 
Sieve script fails, the message MUST be delivered to the intended 
mailbox.  However, if the mailbox is over quota, we can't do this.  The 
simplest way to handle the situation is to do the quota check before 
processing the script, regardless of the final disposition.

If you want to look at the code and find a better way, I'll be happy to 
look at a patch.
