I've seen this with Exim. Exim sends the DATA phase and never hears back
from lmtpd. It only happens for specific recipients, so the only effect is
that mail delivery is stalled for some users. Restarting "master" seems to
fix it: a bit heavy, but fine for most people, as most IMAP clients just
re-authenticate. Fussy clients (like mine ;) tell you something's awry.
    

If this only happens for specific recipients, one question to ask is "did
they get disconnected during an APPEND operation" which is a known bug
(we hold a lock across a network read that we almost certainly shouldn't).

In the beginning I had the same idea. So i backuped all the mails in the mail queue and emptied the queue and restarted Postfix and Cyrus. Afterwards i tried to send a local mail but as i said: Postfix / Cyrus do not deliver at all.
