Thanks a lot for your answer! Actually I am trying to deliver to a 
shared folder which is not in the servers' default domain! Maybe I 
should mention here, how I setup my sendmail:

In sendmail the local mailer is cyrus! I am running a cyrus 2.0.16 
installation on the same machine but different interface! The cyrusv2 
mailer gets set in the mailertable. So if I want to deliver to the 
cyrusv2 mailer I have to delete the domain from the 
/etc/mail/local-host-names and then in the mailertable I specify this 
domain like:

domain    cyrusv2:domain

I do not know if that may be my problem but delivery to all other 
accountds on the cyrusv2 installation using mailertable not dealing with 
shared folders work corretcly!
