Cyrus fails delivery after over quota

I was searching some archives for this problem and it seems to be a known
postfix problem.
First one correction to my previous post. If you want to use sinlge
instance store, you have to use
local_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp
in postfix main.cf. This will however disable alias processing.
Now your problem comes from the way how postfix processes aliases. See
http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0307/1304.html
Looks like you have to use virtual aliases for this to work.
