[Xitami] access.log and system crashes

The data I see are actual log entries for the Mail and Proxy servers and 
in at least one case the actual content of an inbound email.  Two 
guesses on my part are either W2K was messed up and writing to the same 
file for multiple programs or what I'm seeing is what was in all buffers 
and/or caches at the time of a system crash which Xitami appended to at 
restart.  Either way it is strange.
