Here's what I've uncovered.  If you're running spamd with the -c
option, it tries to write an individual prefs file.  But, if the
user is over quota, spamd can't do so (since it's now running with the
user's prevs).

Note, however, that this failure is not logged even with the -D option
to spamd.  Further, it looks like spamd bails on such a failure and
returns the email unchanged.  Maybe something to look at for the
current CVS code?
