Hi Volker,
the problem above is more technical than procedural.
Currently postfix will only accept email for accounts that it finds
in mail: attributes in ldap. Forwarding and vacation comes later in
the processing queue.
Of course postfix can be configured to do somthing about such emails,
but this currently is not build-in out-of-the-box with Kolab-Server.
