That looks very bad. Did you change *anything* in your qmail configuration?
Look up qmail (http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html), tcpserver (http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html), and daemontools (http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html) for more info.

You could try:
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event email-update
perhaps followed by:
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot
to see if that fixes your problem.

Is there anything in your /var/qmail/supervise dir?
