Thanks, Neel and yl had already messaged me privately. I replied to them 
yesterday. I had already solved the problem, unattended-upgrades and logcheck 
mails reach me again.

Actually, I should know that we should avoid exit IPs for DNS, mail and other 
things. I configured nullmailer as usual, then it takes the first IP and 
interface it finds. I was sending mail as a client through|to my DNS 
provider's SMTP server 'easydns.com'. They recently started using abusix 
before smtpauth as well. Only a /27 are exit IP's per server. Now the mail 
goes out on a completely different subnet and network card.

Well I could have pinged Mark Jeftovic @ easyDNS too, please whitelist _my_ IP 
for _my_ mailbox. Or sending mail out via the SMTP server from IN-Berlin, like 
my iRMC (BMC) do.
