I've had good luck using dovecot to handle authentication (postfix works well with it, and if you're going to use dovecot as your imap server, it makes sense to just configure the auth stuff in one place).

I haven't tested it on Lion (yet), though.

sudo postfix check

(man page says:  Warn about bad directory/file ownership or  permissions, and create missing directories.)
