I should have written: virtual_mailbox_limit.

I suggest that you look for Postfix panic, fatal, error or warning
messages as per these instructions:

http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#logging

LOOK FOR OBVIOUS SIGNS OF TROUBLE
=================================
Postfix logs all failed and successful deliveries to a logfile. The
file is usually called /var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail; the exact
pathname is defined in the /etc/syslog.conf file.

When Postfix does not receive or deliver mail, the first order of
business is to look for errors that prevent Postfix from working
properly:

    % egrep '(warning|error|fatal|panic):' /some/log/file | more

Note: the most important message is near the BEGINNING of the output.
Error messages that come later are less useful.

The nature of each problem is indicated as follows:

    * "panic" indicates a problem in the software itself that only
      a programmer can fix. Postfix cannot proceed until this is
      fixed.

    * "fatal" is the result of missing files, incorrect permissions,
      incorrect configuration file settings that you can fix. Postfix
      cannot proceed until this is fixed.

    * "error" reports an error condition. For safety reasons, a
      Postfix process will terminate when more than 13 of these
      happen.

    * "warning" indicates a non-fatal error. These are problems
      that you may not be able to fix (such as a broken DNS server
      elsewhere on the network) but may also indicate local
      configuration errors that could become a problem later.

When no mail is delivered, the logfile will tell you why.
