In this log, did you stop and restart smtpd or did it crash ??

Well, delivery does not always know what the error was.

When using mbox or maildir, it will print out the error from errno so it
will be very descriptive.

In your case, it comes from the mda so we can't necessarily know what is
causing the error, maybe your mda has logged the error somewhere and you
should configure it to log in maillog ?
