Thanks for your answer, but ( sorry ) thats too complicated for me.
Itried a workaround :
kolab as it is ... , and my 'normal' postfix got port 2525 (easy to change 
in /etc/postfix/master.cf.

The old problem with systemusers and their Mail to Kolab users is worked 
around by me too. I have an alias in /etc/aliases for the users to an account 
at my provider, and from there i fetch it with fetchmail.
Not a clean solution, but its easy, and it works.

Thanks Marc.
