If you think you were hacked, unplug the box from the internet (NEVER
reboot/close ports whatever before trying to find out what was going on).
Look at CERT's documents on root hacks and intruder detection
(www.cert.org/tech_tips/root_compromise.html and
www.cert.org/tech_tips/intruder_detection_checklist.html).
Of course you losing those mails could have just as easily been a
filesystem/harddisk problem, but if you find unknown daemons running in
combination with that you might want to be careful.

hope this helps,

Stefan
