first I thought the problem is sitting in front of the computer ;-)

so yesterday I learnt that virtual aliases are broken on Mac Leopard Server.
If it's done the "postfix way" then it works.
The how to can be found here:
<http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/45/41/>

More details about the problem can be found here:
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6363720>
the reason for the error described there doesn't fit to me.
I had only 2 broken accounts, and most virtual account names are
different from the shortname.

Thanks and all the best
