Dear managers,

thanks to

1) "Webmaster - ITServ GmbH" <webmaster at itserv.de>
2) Marian Dragomir <marian at romsys.ro>
3) "Michael Schneider/calispera.com" <michael.schneider at calispera.com>
(and many other, I accidentally sent the summary to Michael instead of 
the list)

for their kind feedback.

1) suggested to look for a .forward file in the home dir. There was 
none.
2) suggested to run "postmap /etc/mail/aliases" but this gave me

postmap: warning: /etc/mail/aliases, line 1: record is in "key: value" 
format; is this an alias file?
...

Not sure what this command expects.

3) finally suggested to rebuild the NIS maps. This actually solved the 
problem.

Thanks a lot!!!

Regards,

   Andreas
