When Postfix doesn't find the expected information in a queue file,
it saves the message in the "corrupt" directory.
This happens only with messages that were already accepted into the
queue (and deleted from the sender's queue or from the maildrop
queue), not with messages that were still in transit.

The files are not part of the mail queue, and you can therefore
delete them without affecting how Postfix works. Depending on the
kind of damage the postcat command may be able to save the
sender/recipient informantion and some of the content.
