Contacted me over skype - ok, so 2 problems found:
1) When changing platforms it's a good idea to use the methods listed in
/blog/archives/2007/10/moving_zcs_to_another_server.html
-You need to use the same zimbra version for the operating system switch
-So the 4.5.5 > 4.5.6 hurt a little in the first place...
2) & on top of that the servername changed...

[zimbra@zimbra ~]$ zmprov ga olduser@schuelerunion.at | grep Transport
zimbraMailTransport: lmtp:zimbra.it-swat.net:7025
[zimbra@zimbra ~]$ zmprov ga newuser@schuelerunion.at | grep Transport
zimbraMailTransport: lmtp:zimbra.schuelerunion.at:7025

He's working to restore the accounts right now, then we'll fix the transport the hard way...
For future reference, directions for servername changes are in are in
