/etc/imapd.conf

# If  enabled,  lmtpd returns a permanent failure code when a user's
# mailbox is over quota.  By  default,  the  failure  is  temporary,
# causing the MTA to queue the message and retry later.

lmtp_over_quota_perm_failure: 1

This is one of the ways to do it.

• stop all cyrus proccesses
• create a full backup of the mailbox spooldir en: /var/spool/cyrus/mail

  tar cvfz /safeplace/cyrus-mailboxspool-backup.tgz /var/spool/cyrus/mail

• dump mboxlist in textfile as cyrus user

 su - cyrus -c "/usr/sbin/ctl_mboxlist -d > /tmp/mailboxes-dump.txt"

• create a backup of /var/lib/cyrus just in case everything goes to ..

in your cyrus dbd dir do:

 db_stat -m

db/DB_CONFIG

# Sample BDB configuration file.
# Please adjust as necessary!
# See http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/893.html for hints and tips
# even if you are not using openldap.

# cache
# use "db4.2_stat -m" to measure cache performance
# see http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/api_c/env_set_cachesize.html
# syntax: gigabytes_of_cache additional_bytes_of_cache number_of_caches
set_cachesize 0 524288 1
  
# buffer size for transaction log
# The default of 32Kbytes is too small
# see http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/api_c/env_set_lg_bsize.html
set_lg_bsize 524288

# other options you may be interested in

# set_lg_dir: configure a separate directory for the transaction logs
# For optimum performance, these should reside on a different disk
# see http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/api_c/env_set_lg_dir.html

# set_lg_max: configure the maximum size of the transaction log file, in bytes
# See http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/api_c/env_set_lg_max.html
# Note that lg_max must at least be 4x the size of lg_bsize. The default is 10Mb. 

example (2-8GB RAM)

set_cachesize 2 0 8
set_lg_regionmax 268435456
set_lg_bsize 67108864
set_flags DB_TXN_WRITE_NOSYNC

DB_CONFIG from one of the largest cyrus sites

Stop cyrus server, run db_recover -h /var/lib/imap/db and start cyrus

Getting something like this
