There was a memory problem in an old version of vpopmail library.
It was related to usage of vlimits in MySQL.
Check within mailing list for such information.
You have to ugrade/fix, then recompile vpomail and courier-authdaemon.

Hello,
I've noticed that courier-authlib slowly uses up memory over time on
my Gentoo linux server. Using 2.6.21-gentoo-r4 kernel, compiler GCC
4.1.2, glibc 2.5-r4. Using the authvchkpw library, authdaemond usage
looks like this after about a week:
top - 00:42:49 up 22 days, 20:31, 2 users, load average: 2.08, 2.52,
2.54
Tasks: 271 total, 2 running, 269 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie

Once I restart the service, usage looks much better:

/usr/lib/courier/courier-authlib/authdaemond
From /etc/courier/authlib/authdaemonrc:
---------------------------------------
authmodulelist="authvchkpw "
daemons="5"
DEFAULTOPTIONS=""
LOGGEROPTS=""
------------------------
There is another post on the courier-users mailing list about this,
user is also using a Gentoo environment and he was told to post on the
vchkpw mailing list. Link included for reference:
http://readlist.com/lists/lists.sourceforge.net/courier-users/0/3901.html
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
