Sorry -- I realized this after posting. I am using authdaemond for pop/imap,
and also for Postfix SMTP-AUTH via Cyrus SASL. The above was in the Postfix
log.
I used to run authdaemond for pop/imap and saslauthd for Postfix, but
realized I
could condense them into one. It worked well for years that way...
until the load
went up suddenly.
After cranking to daemons=35 and still seeing the above error I switched to
saslauthd (with 25 processes) and the failures have gone away. That said,
I'd still prefer to solve this with authdaemond if possible -- the
less stuff I have
to run, the better :-)
