Have a read of this page:
http://www.timj.co.uk/linux/rcpt-time-quota-maildir.php
I have also written, but not yet nicely packaged nor heavily tested, a
daemon called maildir-quotad which listens on a socket and can tell Exim
if a mailbox is overquota or not, using caching in various ways to avoid
excessive disk reads. If anyone is interested they are welcome; when I've
sorted it out properly I'll put it up on the web somewhere.
