Requeueing on its own didn't do the trick (the message appeared with a new message id and the
same error message). However, I used /etc/postfix/canonical to rewrite user(a)localhost.intern to
new_user(a)localhost.intern. After that, requeueing via postsuper delivered the mail to new_user
so it could be forwarded to the original recipient.

So your hint lead the way - thanks a lot.

Yours, Rainer
