The entry is initially created with ldapadd from an ldif-file with  
only one mail-attribute.
The second mail-attribute is added with phpldapadmin.
ldapsearch then shows the entry as posted above (with two mail  
attributes), and everthing works fine.

I found out that the saslauthd is configured with write-access to the  
ldap directory. I will now change this to anonymous bind and turn an  
logging again.

Thanks for your help,
