Ok then, finally I got it ... FINALLY :) *BIG* thanks to Peter Palmreuther for this great tip with strace. I can see in the trace that my mailserver (say: the sender, not the new one with this issue) replaced the virtual domain "mailtest.reinprecht.at" with "mx2.ebox.at" -- I think because of a wrong CNAME/MX record in DNS, I will investigate further... But when I telnet on port 25 to this new qmail server and send a mail manually, then everything works fine. So, thanks again to Peter and all the others who helped me out with this!
