I am using Cyrus IMAP, Postfix and procmail as LDA. If a mailbox is overquota

You probably need to tell your MTA that delivery was successful (that is, that
the message was successfully handed off to the LDA), before it will remove the
message from the queue. If it thinks the LDA is failing, it will attempt to
redeliver for a certain amount of time. Once it passes it to the LDA, it's not
the MTA's problem if the user is over quota. Determining what to do about it
(including sending a response back to the original sender) is the job of the
LDA.
