Postfix can send but not receive mails - Recipient address rejected

I have an Ubuntu 14.04 Server with Postfix 2.11.0 and 2.2.9

Since the last weekend my mailserver can only send emails but not receive them. Any help is much appreciated! :-)

The Error in mail.log file say:

Sep 17 09:31:21 trinity postfix/smtpd[7786]: connect from outmail235.swisscom.com[193.222.81.235] Sep 17 09:31:21 trinity postfix/smtpd[7786]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from outmail235.swisscom.com[193.222.81.235]: 550 5.1.1 <n0_ah@*masked*>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; from=<*masked*@*masked*rants.ch> to=<n0_ah@*masked*> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.swisscom.com> Sep 17 09:31:21 trinity postfix/smtpd[7786]: disconnect from outmail235.swisscom.com[193.222.81.235] 

And this is the output of postconf -nf:

Quite honestly - error states quite clearly, where is the problem. In your virtual mailbox table.

It says that user hasn't been found there, hence incoming mail hasn't been accepted.

I see you're using ldap for virtual users/mailboxes and aliases records - so first of all check if you can connect to your ldap server and, if so - whether your ldap records are in proper order.
