a few thousand messages per day.

Since almost all of you said the same thing:  "configure saslauthd to
fork connections instead of threads",  

I've added FLAGS="-n0 -s 2048 -t 3600 -c "  to /etc/init.d/saslauthd
and to  /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd

and restarted..  I'll keep an eye on things and report back if this
helps.
