The big bump is what Alan Rateliff explained. While qpopper has the spool "swapped out", a delivery can happen that overflows the spool when it swaps back in. Concatenating the new message to the old spool will overflow the spool. I suppose a workaround is to have qpopper re-deliver the new material if it puts the user over-quota, so that the local delivery system will queue it, but one would need, in the worst case, a queue big enough to hold everyone's quota.
