Low memory condition causing mail server login errors?

I am receiving reports from several users saying that they are receiving login errors asking for a correct password. The curious thing is that all of them have been working perfectly during the last days. So I was wondering if maybe a peak of use can cause a condition where Exim is not recognizing user passwords. Clamav is usually a memory hog on busy email servers, so who knows...

  What is the relevant line in /var/log/maillog /var/log/exim_mainlog when this occurs, are there any specific errors shown there?

  Hello :) Is this system using Courier or Dovecot? What entries are logged to /var/log/maillog when this happens? Thanks.
