bounced messages are normally not generated by mail clients like Kmail
and mozilla, but by mail servers like exim or -most likely- the one at
your IPS. One reason for your IPS's mail server to bounce messages is
that your mailbox overthere is full.

more likely, but all depending on your particular setup, there is a
hickup in the process getting your email from your IPS to your system.
I once had a message that gave rise to an error during retrieval, my
fetchmail process barked off leaving all just retrieved mail on the
server. So the next run I got the same mail (duplicates all over the
place:) and the same error until I deleted the offending mail in my
IPS's mailbox by hand.
