I had this same problem at first. The fix was to create my users with 
the full email address in the 'Primary e-mail address' field, i.e, 
'lamer at time.net'. What is happening is that the mailbox is being created 
as 'lamer'. Postfix passes the message along to lmtp for 
'lamer at time.net'. Cyrus looks for a mailbox for 'lamer at time.net' and 
reports that it is not found. The old admin guide on the Kroupware site 
kinda leads you to believe that the domain name will be added 
automatically. This doesn't seem to be the case.
