I looked again what happened at 17:41:11... and I realized something 
important.

This mail 64731CBA97 is delivered from spamassassin as clean... and then 
something similar to this line OUGHT to appear:

... postfix/smtp[7307]: .... to=<prudek at bvx.cz>, 
relay=mail.rtv5.cz[212.96.165.43]:25

Notice the relay=mail.rtv5.cz[212.96.165.43]:25, this is the mailserver for 
prudek at bvx.cz. But this line DOES NOT appear. Neither do the other two lines 
for member1 at example.com and member2 at example.com (domain example.com is not 
the real one). So Postfix is NEVER instructed to deliver the emails to their 
real external destinations.

Instead some email is sent from t-bounces at z.docestiny.cz to the mailing list 
itself (t at z.docestiny.cz):

dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via mailman service)
Nov  8 17:41:12 milos-desktop postfix/qmgr[19655]: D2FC5CBA73: removed

and that is the end of all relevant communication.

What is eating those emails?
