Back to work, still have this problem! First of all, I hope you all enjoyed
your holidays and have a Happy New Year!
You asked for logfiles and the reply message: Here you are:
I've modified the example to add a true dummy user paul-john.doe (you don't
really thought, we have a real user John P. Doe, do you?). Here's, what the
logfile and mail replay say:

There is a user account "paul" existing on that system, having a .qmail
file in his home directory /home/paul. This .qmail (or even .qmail-john (as
I've read in some of the replies to other similar problems)) will lead into
the above result. We're using qmail as a mailrelay server running Microsoft
Exchange as the local mailsystem. Mails within our company sites are
encrypted. We don't have the dot-forward installed, yet.
If you need some more information, let me know.
Thanks for your help!
Kind regards
Oliver

What was the envelope recipient? What _exactly_ was the bounce message?
You didn't specify either, leaving us to guess. With the .qmail file
above,
I would expect you tested sending to "john-paul.doe@yourdomain", but I've
learned not to assume much on this list. Also, show us the log entries for
this attempted/failed delivery.
What is the system account name for this user?
