Postfix, Cyrus, and virtual domains : verify_user failed: Mailbox does not exist - Help !

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a Postfix+Cyrus installation (no SQL nor LDAP, only hash files).
I only want to handle virtual domains, no local accounts
My cyrus imap version is 2.3.7 since this is the packaged version for centos/redhat.
My postfix version is 2.3.3 for the same reason.
I'm still having the same problem, after hours and hours of researchs, surfing, and doc reading :
lmtpunix[11333]: verify_user(user.test) failed: Mailbox does not exist
And then mail bounces...

I'm not sure if this is a postfix or cyrus problem, it seems like postfix, through cyrus deliver, doesn't pass @myothervirtualdomain1.com
(This is explained here but I don't know how to make it work : http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Cyrus/CyrusDeliverWithAt )

(I only want imaps for remote access, imap is only here for cyradm....BTW, if someone can tell me how to use cyradm with imaps, so that I can comment out imap, it would be great !)
