Thank you for your hint. So the failure is quite clearly on the side of
the "mirapoint appliance". Unfortunely mostly such boxes are really
expensive, so the owner/"admin" will not be willing to confess this bug.
And even worse - it's operated by "T-Systems" (as far as I know) - and
alone the names seems to be the prove enough that it can't be on their side....

    Best regards from Dresden
