Hello again,

I searched every logfile I could find, but without any results :(
How does it usually work?
The mail is send by another server and on my server, does postfix 
receive the email or is it dovecots job?
Who puts the mail into that mail directory? I guess it's postfix?

Thank you in advance
Bye, Chris
