yes, we use fetchmail to get the email via pop3 from mailbox.org. Since
this has been working for a couple of days, I have the suspicion that
mailbox.org changed something.

You should check whether the email stored at mailbox.org already has the
Delivered-To header.

I already used virtual_maps to map edifact(a)DOMAIN.ag to
edifact(a)localhost, but this mapping obviuosly occur before the email is
forwarded to Ciphermail. It doesn't get decrypted because the email
address doesn't match.

CipherMail by default does not use the recipient address to find the
decryption key. It tries to find the correct decryption key based on the
public certificate used for encryption (with strict mode enabled, which
is disabled by default, not all keys will be acceptable for a
recipient). Could it be that the domain localhost is not an internal
domain (and therefore email to localhost is not decrypted)?

Kind regards,
