You could try this (might need a DROPPRIVS: can anyone help?):

NL="
"
## QUOTA = 50 * 1024 * 1024
QUOTA=52428800
INBOXSIZE=`ls -l $DEFAULT 2>/dev/null | awk '{print $5}'`
:0
* $ -${INBOXSIZE}^0
* $ ${QUOTA}^0
{
    MAXMSG = $=
    :0
    * $ > ${MAXMSG}
    {
        LOG="Bouncing (message too big!)${NL}"
        EXITCODE=69
        HOST
    }
}

:0E
{
    LOG="Bouncing (inbox already full!)${NL}"
    EXITCODE=69
    HOST
}

Caveats:

The bounce works just fine, but for some strange reason my setup also
delivers the message as usual (I have a slightly hacked procmail
3.22). Maybe yours will work just fine.
