Okay so far. I'm now wondering if I'm off on the wrong branch of the
debug tree, though; the error message seems to say it *couldn't* find
the alias user, but we just did. Still, let's run down to the bottom
just to see.
What *user* at www.1areisen.de was the test email addressed to? Let's
say it's user fred (that is, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>); then the local
delivery that will result is to yildiz-fred. If user yildiz doesn't
have either a .qmail-fred or a .qmail-default file in his home
directory, then the delivery will fail. (I don't think it will fail
with the error message given, though, which is bugging me).

You've probably already seen the message from another user pointing
out that the trailing slash is for maildir format, not for mailbox
format. I don't think that could be the underlying cause of your
error message either, though.
