I had the same problems with all versions of postfix through just a few
months ago and even with cyrus 2.0.x. There were several suggestions on
the postfix list on how to fix this (mostly revolving around setting the
local delivery rate to 1 message at a time). I tried most of them
without much success and ended up solving the problem by switching to
lmtp through a socket for local delivery. This assumes, of course, that
you are running a recent version of postfix and cyrus 2.x.
The switch is fairly simple. In cyrus's cyrus.conf, uncomment/add a
line that looks like this:
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/someplace/socket/lmtp" prefork=1
(where "someplace" is the appropriate location for your installation)
Then in postfix's main.cf, add a line like this:
mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/someplace/socket/lmtp
Comment out the previous mailbox_transports, reload cyrus and postfix,
and you'll have happy local delivery.
