I don't know your set up but if you are running multiple domains you
need to be looking in /etc/postfix/virtual, syslog should tell you if
the db is older than the virtual text file.

postconf -n will give you details of your main.cf file that holds most
of the postfix config files.  Check that there are not rollback copies
of the config files you want.  Try those out first before you try your
own.  http://www.postfix.org has good documentation some in German and a
good mail archive.

Peace Jim
