We use courier maildrop to do the maildir delivery. You configure "courier-authlib" properly so that it gets its maildir and quota information for a virtual user from one of LDAP, or MySQL, etc. The maildrop process simply talks to the courier-authlib process to get that info. When it then attempts to deliver, it creates/adjusts a maildirsize file with the quota setting and current mailbox size, refusing to deliver if the maildir is over its assigned quota. Integration with Exim is pretty easy. I use it on an older sendmail system, and am refining it with a development box of Exim. -- Regards...
