If your local username is "juli" then this should be:

juli juli@merino.net

And don't forget to run "postmap /etc/postfix/canonical.sender"!

I've two directives in main.cf:

  recipient_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/recipient_canonical
  sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical


recipient_canonical looks like:

  neumann@s-direktnet.de   michael


and sender_canonical:

  michael neumann@s-direktnet.de

Furthermore I use 

  home_mailbox = Maildir/

to let postfix deliver incoming mail to the users maildir.

Where is your problem exactly?

Try sending an email to yourself while looking at /var/log/maillog 
(tail -f /var/log/maillog).

What happens?
