The problem probabl lies in the way you deliver mail. since we can't guess, we can't help as the list welcome message says, you need to read the DEBUG README (at least the #mail part). In particular, show - output of 'postconf -n' (note the '-n') - relevant logs you also need to tell us how mail is delivered and which piece of software detects the disk quota condition.
