The problem details should be logged somewhere by the sendmail process. 
The above error is produced by LDA and tells me little about the problem 
itself. Does executing sendmail manually even work?

I am not convinced that this is the problem. This looks like a valid 
rejection or vacation notification mail being sent out, probably from 
Sieve; notice that the original sender is specified as recipient and 
that the new sender is empty, indicating an automated message. So, what 
caused this message to be sent out? It is definitely not a redirect.
