By default, you'd send mail to +usegroup at usegroup.de  See the 'postuser' 
option in imap.conf

Keep in mind, that unless jstaerk and chanser use SMTP AUTH and Postfix 
passes this info to Cyrus, that they still won't be able to post to the 
mailbox.  Most folks end up giving the 'p' right to user 'anonymous'.
