The logs look indentically for an correct and an tripled delivery. Here's
the snippet, users/hosts cut out for security:
triple-delivery:

And this is all I get in the main-log. No entrys in panic and reject
log. Yes, the maildirs are exported via NFS, but according to lsof this
mailbox is not locked from anywhere, and this user accesses his mail via
pop or imap, running on the same host.
this 2 unsucessfully deliveries sound like an idea. Ususally unsucsessfull
delieveries get logged, or do I have some way to set the debug-level way
higher?

only this .forward file. If there would be 3 mails incoming, I'd get 3
entries in the main log, woulnd't it.
