Hello Wietse,
thank you for your response.
What would be the best way to debug, if the mail that wasn't delivered 
was actually legit?

I lowered my restrictions for smtpd_sender_restrictions and 
smtpd_helo_restrictions.

Could that have been the issue, that legit email was being rejected?

Best,
Lucienne
