I'm sorry, but it seems that your mail delivery setup is broken.

When delivering mail to a non-Postfix command, Postfix expects exit
status codes as defined in /usr/include/sysexits.h. This file
defines exit status codes for a variety of recoverable and
unrecoverable errors.

In order for Postfix to take the appropriate action, cyrus must
return the proper exit status code.

It certainly does not make sense for Postfix to keep retrying all
possible errors.
