Your system is being killed by Linux's OOM killer. The OOM killer in 2.4 series doesn't appear to be all that bright and I have had it kill init in the past which results in what you describe (pings but services down).
You basically have two options, either add more memory or limit the number of local delivery tasks. Limiting the number of local deliveries is trivial with qmail and should be limited to somewhere between 5 and 15 depending on CPU speed and physical memory.
