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.
