exiwhat | grep 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw showed this:

16805 running queue: waiting for 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw (16965)
16965 delivering 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw: waiting for a remote delivery subprocess to finish
17379 delivering 1EKeSt-0001ZE-Sw to domain.de [IP.Address.Anonymized.:-)] (user@???)

Killing does not help because the next time I send a mail to that receipient it starts again.
I can send mail however to all other mail adresses but this one. It's my brother's and he says
that he sah no problem getting emails from others.

Thanks for your help.
