This is not actually true to me: i have the following setup of virtual
domains -- the domain is owned by a real user, say user1 has mapping
to domain1.com he has the ability to create independent mailboxes in
his domain (a kind of virtual users) mail comming to these virtual
users is owned (the mailbox) by user: user1 and group: mail. I was
thinking about creating a perlscript to sum all mailboxes sizes
depending on the user who owns these boxes, but i don`t know the
actual mechanism on who to tell exim from a perl script that the quota
has exceded or came to a threshold. Any ideas?

This is a an OS dependent feature. I don`t want to do it.
