Yep; in fact "it's worked fine for years" and now doesn't is probably
a very good indication of a hardware failure.  Have you checked your
CPU fan?  The qmail.org outages in December 1999, and February 2001
were due to a worn-out CPU fan.  ALL of the qmail.org outages for the
past five years have been due to hardware problems:
  o Hardware lacking AC mains power.
  o Hardware in wrong location.
  o Hardware overheating due to bad CPU fan.
