First try was to call dovecot-lda from command line:
/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d spam@xgm.de < testmail
which gave return code 75 (EX_TEMPFAIL) and logged:
dovecot: auth-worker(3533): mysql(localhost): Connected to database
system
dovecot: lda(spam@xgm.de): Error: user spam@xgm.de: Initialization
failed: Namespace '': Mail storage autodetection failed with
home=/home/flindner/Mail/spam
dovecot: lda(spam@xgm.de): Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to
server
log for more information.
My userdb/password is like that home == maildir ==
/home/flindner/Mail/spam  (without prefixed "maildir:"). It works fine
for dovecot-imap, it detects that spam is a maildir.
I've also tried prefixing home and or maildir with "maildir:" or
calling: HOME=maildir:~/Mail/spam /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda <
testmail which gave:
dovecot: lda: Error: user flindner: Relative home directory paths not
supported: maildir:/home/flindner/Mail/spam
dovecot: lda: Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for
more
information.
What is the problem with the LDA here?
Please provide the output from doveconf -n and doveadm user  flindner.

userdb lookup: user flindner doesn't exist
flindner is my linux system user. There are virtual user, e.g
# doveadm user spam@xgm.de
userdb: spam@xgm.de
home      : /home/flindner/Mail/spam
uid       : 1001
gid       : 1001
/home/flindner/Mail/spam is the home and maildir of virtual user.
My mail system is built like that:
postfix delivers all mail of a domain to maildrop using a system user
which have this domain assigned. maildrop does the final delivery. There
is no 1:1 mapping of mail adresses to maildirs.
postfix @xgm.de -> maildrop flindner -> maildrop -> maildir <- dovecot
IMAP  this should become:
postfix @xgm.de -> maildrop flindner -> maildrop -> dovecot-lda ->
maildir <- dovecot IMAP
so that I can also use sieve for filtering.
