I posted the same problem a week or two ago with Horde-2.1/IMP-3.1.  
Assuming this is the same problem I ran into, the problem is you're
overflowing the storage capability of horde_prefs.pref_value which is 
defined as type text.  On my installation, I've done nothing about this 
yet, as I'm not sure I want users to define so many blacklisted addresses.  
IMO, imp isn't the best place to do this.  The horde/imp code really ought 
to be modified to know (it'd probably all have to be configured) the 
storage limits of the db backend and not overflow them.
