Do a recipient verify; so long as there was only one
resulting address from the redirects expansion done
(for aliasing), $address_data should have that address
(if I read the docs correctly). Use that for your
over-quota lookup.

That doesn't help you for multiple resulting destinations.


For that, or if you actually want "would be over-quota
if we accepted this message" you're in the same area as

https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163

I agree it's something that Exim ought to be able to do for
you; it's essentially a recipient verify job with probing
extended all the way to a local transport (just like callouts
do for remote transports). I don't buy the "expensive"
argument but for SIZE-less message transactions we'll
have to suggest some assumed message size.
