Thanks to you i found the problem:

The following lines from amavisd.conf are verry important and are
commented out by default:

$mailfrom_notify_admin     = "postmaster\@$mydomain";
$mailfrom_notify_recip     = "postmaster\@$mydomain";

Thats the only think, that was/is missing in your howto.

I did a little research and its by design, that courier does not allow
any email modification (header rewriting or what ever) until the
message leaves the mta. Modifing can only be accomplished by the mda
witch normaly means maildrop filter configuration.

Anyway i realy have to thank you for your help!
