This probably means that you're using Linux and didn't mount your
mail-handling systems with synchronous metadata. See conf-qmail.
qmail, like sendmail and other MTAs, relies on certain guarantees
provided by the standard UNIX filesystem (Berkeley FFS, aka UFS). The
Linux filesystem, by default, does not provide those guarantees, and
does not necessarily keep your mail intact after a crash.
