Other than the fact that at 1304, your Qube3 had a load average of 21, probably not.

Sendmail is configurable to drop connections when the load average is greater than a 
certain value, which is what you're seeing here. Now you have to find exactly what's 
causing that load.

You probably have a cron job somewhere, doing log crunching for example. Other than 
that I wouldn't worry, particularly.
