Not the whole truth. It also depends how you feed mails to lmtp. The default
destination_recipient_limit is 50.

Taken from Postfix mailing-list :

So the baseline is :
- Use transport maps with "lmtp:" entry to bypass "local"
- Raise the "destination_recipient_limit" to more then 50
- Limit the number of concurrent lmtp clients in "master.cf" to something your
server can handle
