You should have a storage to hold how much quota the user can used, e.g. LDAP, SQL database, then
configure the exim to use it.
The following is a fragment of my exim.conf. My installation is based on LDAP, the mailbox format is maildir.
################################################################################
# Rate/Anti-UCE control
################################################################################
RECIPIENTS_MAX = 50
MESG_SIZE_LIMIT = 50M
QUOTA_SIZE = 200M
QUOTA_FILE_COUNT = 200
...
begin routers:
...
in_this_host:
driver = accept
transport = save_this_host_maildir
...
begin transports:
...
save_this_host_maildir:
driver = appendfile
create_directory = true
mode = 0700
maildir_format = true
directory = /tpdata/vusers/${extract {mailMessageStore}{RCPT_USER_DATA}}/Maildir
quota = ${extract {mailQuotaSize}{RCPT_USER_DATA} {$value} {QUOTA_SIZE}}
quota_filecount = ${extract {mailQuotaCount}{RCPT_USER_DATA} {$value} {QUOTA_FILE_COUNT}}
quota_warn_threshold = 75%
