This is just a quick heads up for people who might be experiencing similar issues. I think I might have identified the problem. Apparently in some situations SASLauthd can produce memory leaks. This is what I've gathered from other people's posts. Now I'm not certain if this is what was causing my particular issue (too soon to tell), but it's worth checking out. I noticed that the RAM usage on my mailserver seemed to continually grow over time, and the date when the authentication issues arose, seem to coincide with the ram usage growing beyond the upper limit of the Server's resources. Anyways, I added the "-c" parameter to my saslauthd options. This is supposed to cache the authentication credentials. So far, my ram usage seems to stay more or less constant. It's still too early to tell if this solved it or not. Since my issue is very sporadic. But I thought I'd just mention it, in case someone here has similar issues.
