Ah, damn :|

Indeed.

Right now I simply solved it by using + addressing like this:

Jan  3 19:42:49 mail postfix/lmtp[2728]: 3THkfd20f1zFvlF: to=<backup+first.last+charite.de at backup.invalid>,
relay=mail.charite.de[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.01, delays=0.01/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0
<backup+first.last+charite.de at backup.invalid> IHdDM9VLA0/aCwAAY73zkw Saved)

Call me lazy :)

Ah yes, good idea.
