If modusadm is timing out when attempting to communicate with the SQL server that will cause this to happen.
 
I'm saying this purely from theory as I don't use SQL as yet.

thanks, do you know if a problem with super heavy usage of sql could cause the quarantined messages to go into the spam spool?

Mail only ends up in the spam spool when it can't make it in to quarrantine.  Either a problem with quarrantine/SQL/ModusAdm can prevent that happening.
 
As for trying to get info on the folder try ALT-ENTER to get the properties or use "dir" in a command shell rather then explorer.
 
Explorer chokes on folders with large numbers of files.

yeah, i don't know what really happens in the spam folder. but mine is usually no more than 150 with 2,600 mailboxes. i'm very confused and somewhat concerned, because mail is apparently not being delivered

I just checked on mine, it has 53,000 and is also growing - I don't know what it runs normally.  We are fairly small and don't do that much mail.  What is weird I show nothing in the quarentine.  My sievedata.mdb is only at 37M

i have over 55,000 messages in my spam directory under the vopmail/spool. I have never had over 365 that i know of. what could cause this. could it be held there becaus of rbl lookups? I use only spamhaus.org and have that as a zone in my dns and secondary dns
