Postfix does not care to allow other programs to work in it's
user/group space. To avoid this, when I compile Cyrus I just do:
./configure .... --with-cyrus-user=cyrus --with-cyrus-group=cyrus
Alternatively, you can fiddle with the user=cyrus:mail setting in
master.cf, but I forget which way that should be.
The cyrus/postfix archives have more.
