A quick feedback here, maybe someone needs that information as well or 
has a solution:

It *seems* as if the problem is around UTF-8 and postfix somewhere.

I am currently analysing things with the postfix provider of the 
customer and checking the sending postfix and my receiving postfix ...

It seems as if the amanda-report-mails, with "März" in the subject 
(german for "march") seem to fail because of some postfix setting:

"smtputf8_enable = yes|no"
