For clarity, Timo means that this obscure error is normal for cmusieve 
when storing/forwarding the message fails somehow. The actual error 
message is reported a few lines earlier in the logs, i.e. right before 
the equally descriptive 'Generic Error' message. This is your quota 
error in this case.

The new Sieve implementation significantly improves this.
