Re: [exim] Quotas - disallow sending?

Authenticated or not, there is the issue of efficiently determining
current disk usage of the sender's mailbox. Does anyone know if the
"maildirsize" file is "nfs-safe" for exim? We have multiple machines
delivering mail to the same mailboxes.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
