Does anyone know the status of being able to handle quota's over NFS?

We have a mail machine here that has user quotas and recently we have
put users on a seperate machine. Since NFS doesnt support quota's
this seems to have the possibility of completly wiping out mailboxes if the
user is over quota.

Any thoughts on how to handle this better?


Thanks,
