You need to store the value that you want it to use in a config file
or database somewhere. Then when dovecot creates the user, it should
lookup and use that value, and every delivery that exim makes, exim
should lookup this value and use it. You have to do it every delivery
like this so that it can detect when a quota changes and rewrite the
maildirsize file accordingly.
