Do you mean outgoing spam emails or incoming spam?
The daily sending limits only affect outgoing email, and they're implemented as a failure to resolve, so they do end up in the queue if they can't be returned to the sender, perhaps because the sender email account is full.
Where would you want email to end up if it can neither be delivered nor returned? The RFCs require that you don't throw it away, and even if you don't mind throwing away spam, you still need to be careful because all overlimit email is not spam.

Yes it is outgoing spam from my server.Some users have weak mail passwords.
Every domain has a daily limit about 200 email.
exim rejects sender after 200 email.I'm sure that's ok.
but something weird happens after this.
I see much more spam (same real email account&fake random envelope sender) in mailqueue administration page.But these emails are not sending.just stay in queue.
I remove them all with using exiqgrep.After few minutes same spams coming with thousands.
I change the mail accounts passwords but its not working.
at last I remove the e-mail account then remove all spam in queue.then Everything is back to normal

Why are they in the queue? Where are they being sent? What errors are there?

Why?I dont know.This is my question already.
no errors here.just thousands spams stay in queue until I remove them.

One of the email-specific files in the queue is a record of all send attempts. Find one and look to see what's been failing, and the specific message.
