The OP's problem is that not <mumble>.pobox.foobar.com destinations
are the same, the logical to physical mapping has a large domain and
small range. The domain is the set of users, the range is the set of
IMAP servers which have per-user CNAME records in DNS. This design
breaks a-priori grouping of users by the "actual" nexthop, requiring
CNAME expansion first, which Postfix will not (and should not) do in
the active queue.
