Further playing with authtest (since I think it's got to be authdaemon related) shows that:

authtest -s esmtp -m authdaemon sam <password>

Gives a successful result, whilst

authtest -s esmtp -m authpam sam <password>

fails.

Of course. If you read INSTALL (specifically the description of the authdaemon module), you'll find out why.

I assume pam is being used to lookup a user's home directory in order to find where to put mail.

No, it's not.

As long as a mail is sent to one of the accepted domains, will it be forwarded to an account of that user's name, regardless? So mails to sam@glendale... and sam@bifrost... both go into the home directory for user 'sam'?

That depends on whether the domain is listed in the locals or the hosteddomains file. See the courier(8) man page.
