No, it isn't spam, it's a message from the Exchange Server that says you're
over your mailbox size. Are you getting this on a POP3 account or at work?

Stop using your Inbox for holding e-mails indefinitely. You actually
thought you had an unlimited disk space? Cleanup your mailbox.

No it's not spam. It's an automated message from the Exchange Server that you are close to the limit on the amount of data you are allowed to store in your mailbox. If you have Outlook 2003, it has a Large Mail search folder that can help you find the largest messages to delete or move to a .pst file. You can also use Outlook's AutoArchive feature to clean out your mailbox regularly.
