FYI, you could shorten this up and write is as:
if address ["to" , "cc" , "bcc"]
["@proescholdt.de", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"] {
redirect "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
keep;
}
You could go even one step further by using :regex for combining your
brothers addresses.

I don't believe this has anything to do with cyrus/sieve, at least not
by design. I've had a similar script used here and there is no delay.
I'd look into your sendmail setup.
