Error message: What does it mean?
I get this error message in my maillog. Can someone tell me what it means?

SYSERR(root): collect: I/O error on connection from mail-05.goomba.com

I guess it means that the server could not connect to mail-06.goomba.com. Is my interpretation correct?

Any idea why it happens?

It could mean the connection was dropped or lost during transmission, so it's not correct to say that the server could not connect to it.
