You need to use lmtp delivery from postfix. The standard cyrus delivery
method from postfix strips the @ out. There is probably a setting to
prevent that but lmtp is easier to use.
In your postfix main.cf just change the mailbox transport to something like
mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/usr/local/imap/socket/lmtp
and then postfix reload. If you run your postfix chrooted you'll need
to make sure the cyrus lmtp socket is visible in the chrooted area and
use the path relative to the chroot point instead of from the standard
root point.
