[Pkg-exim4-users] split configuration issues

Hi all,

I'm having trouble to exactly understand the way to configure exim4 by split
files configuration. By reading the documentation I do have an idea about
the separate routers and transport files, which helped me with vacation
messages and spamchecks. 

What I don't get, is how to set 'normal' configuration parameters. When I
want to set the quota for each user, the Exim4 book tells me to specify this
as "quota = 10M". I don't see how to set this value in the split files, and
think it might be preferred to have a router to check an incoming message
with the quota and if that leads to problems, to have a transport send it
back to the user. For these kind of things I can't hardly find any
documentation; what I find is mostly based on monolithic file.

My question is, am I looking at this split configuration in the wrong way?
Is it possible to easily embed configuration for the monolithic file in
split files (which I thought it was) and do I just don't get it, or does
this work different and if so, is there a place to find some more detailed
information?

Regards,
Thijs
