I tried and got the same error.
Besides, I tried to write an email to another alias that produces the same 
error, I also got a 550 user not found error. For aliases that mail is 
accepted for, authtest prints out Authentication succeded and some 
information.

I changed the directory with all subdirectories to owner balfolk with the 
corresponding group. It had no much effect.

In fact, I did not edit any file in userdb. Do I have to add the user 
balfolk to userdb/system? authtest only prints out Auth succeeded and the 
information for users defined in userdb/aelfsciene.de.
