Unknown mailbox (was: Trouble with LMTP)

Thanks for the answers,

I'm using a SuSE distribution and it turns out that I have to use
'/var/spool/postfix/public/lmtp' instead of the cyrus provided socket.
After I changed the LMTP configuration in 'cyrus.conf' and 'main.cf' to
that socket the delivery works as expected....  at least at nearly....

Now LMTP has trouble to find the correct mailbox for my testuser:

May 22 08:38:00 preston postfix/lmtp[27431]: deliver_message: from

You see that the address is rewritten from 'test at example.com' to
'user/test at example.com' and that Cyrus-LMTP says it is unable to find a
mailbox for that name.

cyradm gives the following:

preston:/var/log # cyradm --user cyrus localhost
Password:
localhost> lm
user/test at example.com (\HasNoChildren)
localhost> lam user/test at example.com
test at example.com lrswipcda
anyone lp

I have no clue how the mailbox has to be named respectively what format
the rewritten address has to have. I'm grateful for any advice.

Thanks in advance
