Just an idea:

Calc() ...
   array = new array();
   Loop:
       file = openfile( ... );
       if file.inode.linkcounter == 1 || array.get( file.inode.id ) ==
NULL  {
            array.put( file.inode.id );
            count file.size
       } // skip if it's a known hardlink


(note: the linkcounter check is actually obsolete, because it would not
matter. It's just for illustration. )

IMHO, it's dovecot who's causing this by adding hardlinks to files in
the first place. it's not Exims fault, even if it could avoid this
"miscount" easily.
