Off the top of my head, <waving hands around>, perhaps Exim is counting
the Maildir/new folder that it's actually delivering the messages into,
and you might try setting quota_directory = Maildir ? See
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.40/doc/html/spec_26.html#IX1995 (or
similar for your version).
Is your Dovecot installation also monitoring/enforcing quotas? If not,
your users can go over quota if they want to anyway, by storing messages
(e.g. sent or draft messages).
Cheers,
John.
