Do you have more than one username per domain? If not, you can use the
system (not exim) user quota mechanism. Otherwise, I suppose that you
could set up a filesystem for each virtual domain and limit that.

Some fancier file systems (it think AFS) might be able to put quotas on
groups of users.

I really think that that is probably a job best left to perl, or some
similar tool if you really do have several UIDs per virtual host.
