I found the reason. Somehow the postfix started via macports 'port
load postfix' and with all paths in main.cf pointing to /opt/ used
some configuration in /etc/postfix/. Or maybe /opt/local/bin/mailx
used it.

After renaming the /etc/postfix/ directory I got lots of errors when
calling mailx. And I could not get mailx to work, without putting an
/etc/postfix/main.cf in place.

And of course, whatever I had in /opt/local/etc/postfix, if this
configuration was never used, I could change options as long as I
could and the behaviour would not change...

I have no idea, what caused this. At the moment I uninstalled
postfix and try to use the OSX one. I would have thought this should
work, but I have no clue why the kept getting mixed up.
