I think you have a little bit of misunderstanding on how exim checks the
quota:
exim -d user@???(brian@??? in this example)
appendfile transport entered
appendfile: mode=660 notify_comsat=0 quota=52428800
directory=/export/home/bkw.org/mail/brian/Maildir format=maildir
message_prefix=null
message_suffix=null
quota checks on directory /export/home/bkw.org/mail/brian/Maildir
check_dir_size: dir=/export/home/bkw.org/mail/brian/Maildir/tmp sum=0
count=1
check_dir_size: dir=/export/home/bkw.org/mail/brian/Maildir/new sum=2651
count=3
check_dir_size: dir=/export/home/bkw.org/mail/brian/Maildir/cur sum=1590351
count=343
check_dir_size: dir=/export/home/bkw.org/mail/brian/Maildir sum=1593002
count=343
delivering in maildir format in /export/home/bkw.org/mail/brian/Maildir
writing to file tmp/1052933575.H18708P62459.smtp-00.ssl-website.net
Exim quota = 52428800 old size = 1593002 this message = 299 (included)
file quota = 0 count = 343
writing data block fd=6 size=299 timeout=0
renaming temporary file
renamed tmp/1052933575.H18708P62459.smtp-00.ssl-website.net as
new/1052933575.H18708P62459.smtp-00.ssl-website.net
appendfile yields 0 with errno=0 more_errno=0
search_tidyup called
journalling brian@???
virtual_delivery transport returned OK for brian@???
post-process brian@??? (0)
brian@??? delivered
From what I can tell it checks the directory and not each file.
