I should think so...

ws> local_destination_recipient_limit = 3000
ws> default_destination_recipient_limit = 50
ws> mailbox_transport = lmtp
ws> # if it's of any interest

Maybe you need

lmtpd_destination_recipient_limit = 3000

as well?

ws> main.cf 2:
ws> ----------
ws> local_destination_recipient_limit = 3000
ws> default_destination_recipient_limit = 50
ws> # if it's of any interest
ws> local_transports = local (same for local_transports = local lmtp lmtpd)

ws> master.cf 2:
ws> ------------
ws> local unix - - n - - lmtp
ws> serv=unix:private/lmtpd
ws> lmtpd unix - n n - - spawn
ws> user=cyrus:cyrus argv=/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -D -e -l

Yeah, I can see that being a problem with that setup.

Seems like a lot of work if only using one host.
