Ok.. I've investigated a little and it come out that my postfix is 
accepting email addresses with an empty local-part.
The postfix 'strict_rfc821_envelopes' configuration parameter handles 
also this behaviour.. (default: disabled).
Amavis don't love it too much ( ""@domain.tld ) and "gracefully" stuck 
.. with a probable DoS risk.

So, my fault.. I wasn't aware of this requirement 
(strict_rfc821_envelopes=yes).

Ciao
