    First, this is definitely a postfix question belonging on the postfix
    mailing list.

    Second, you most likely don't have /etc/aliases in your postfix
    alias_maps configuration. a default install of postfix uses
    /etc/postfix/aliases, but /etc/aliases can be added by editing main.cf
    (read the postfix documentation on postfix.org, or post to the
    postfix-users mailing list for more assistance)

    Third, unless you have a REAL need to use 'deliver' you should be using
    LMTP to inject mail into cyrus, as it provides better performance.
