Thank you for the response Todd.  Your pseudo-code is exactly what I am looking 
for - it is just a matter of how it can be put into the Exim config file that 
will allow for that to function that way.

So you believe by turning the quota_is_inclusive to 'true' may help correct 
this problem somewhat?
