I finally found out what the problem was. I will try to explain if someone ever encounters the problem again.

The problem was that I only had a .courier-default file in cat's homedir. That worked for all mails destined to cat-anything but not for cat himself.

So courier was trying to deliver the mail to the local mailbox which did not exist (no Maildir). It seems this resulted in the 456 error and no real help could be found in the logs.

The solution was simple : ln -s .courier-default .courier or cp -a .courier-default .courier

Hope this helps in the future. Anyway, I'm happy again with Courier.
