Thank you for your reply!

I can't seem to be too far off with my configuration, but it's just not 
working yet. Your user "ebal" is part of the group "mail", I gather? 

After adding my user to the mail group and modifying my rc-file such that it 
looks identical to yours (apart from the usernames of course) I still get the 
following errors:

Delivery error (command deliver 29175 error (127, exec of command deliver 
failed (change UID/GID to 1000/8 failed ([Errno 1] Operation not 
permitted))))

UID 1000 is of course my user. Upon removing the line "group = mail" from the 
rc-file I get:

Delivery error (command deliver 29696 error (75, ))

Do you know what to make of this?

Thanks again, 

Andreas
