What's missing is more information from you. At the bare minimum, the contents of your locals and/or hosteddomains and/or me configuration files. The output of "authtest balfolk". The actual contents of your purported home directory, the output of "ls -al" that shows the ownership and permissions of the directory and its content. What gets logged in your syslog. And anything else which you believe might help someone else understand what you've done."authtest balfolk" resulted in "Authentication FAILED: Operation not permitted", but I did not pay it much attention, as this result is the same for all aliases.
A good rule of thumb to follow, not specifically here but in general: ignoring error messages will not make the underlying problems go away.
courier/locals: localhost h13xxxx.stratoserver.net courier/hosteddomains/vmail: xxx.xxx
Unless you're employed by a clandestine intelligence organization, and revealing your domain name will expose national secrets, replacing random parts of your configuration data with random letters will accomplish nothing except introduce unnecessary and awkward complications.
Since your email address's domain is apparently placed in hosteddomains (assuming that you've ran makehosteddomains), you need to pass the full "[email protected]", whatever it is, to authtest. Try again, and see what comes out.
I did not set up a me file. /home/mailinglists/balfolk is owned by and in the group root.
Well, that's likely to be a part of the problem. It's unlikely that you've defined the balkfolk@ account, in courier-authlib, with a 0 uid and gid (some authentication modules won't even allow you to do it). How about you try this thought experiment: take the account that you log into, and pretend that all the files and the directories in your account are owned by root. You, logged in normally, won't be able to accomplish much.
This is no different. Given that your domain is in hosteddomains, you must have an account record in courier-authlib named "balf...@domain". You've specified some numerical uid and a gid for that account. Therefore, that same userid and groupid must own all the files in the account's home directory, which you've specified as per above.
set up the respective accounts. Let me know if the anonymization of the adresses complicates things.
Yes, it usually does. It may not be possible to spot a problem, if it's hidden from view.
