I have always steered clear of trying to build in quota-checking at RCPT
time, for a number of reasons, not least of which is the permissions
problem. The Exim process that is receiving is running as "exim"; it may
not be able to access the relevant files/directories in order to do
quota calculations; nor can it access the data for system quotas.

I don't think it is possible to do this directly inside Exim.
The "right" way is probably for somebody to write a daemon that can run
as root and be accessed via a socket.
