Ok, I've worked out most of it.

I added the following to my main.cf file:

    virtual_transport = cyrusx
    virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/vmailboxes
    virtual_mailbox_domains = $virtual_mailbox_maps
    virtual_alias_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual

And defined this in master.cf:

cyrusx unix - n n - - pipe
  flags=R user=cyrus argv=/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -m ${extension} ${recipient}

Which is basically the same as the cyrus rule but with ${recipient}
instead of ${user} defined so that the whole email address gets sent to
cyrus's deliver command.

This works, but I'm confused about virtual_mailbox_maps.

    virtual:
        mejosef-k.net joetao.org.uk
        youjosef-k.net testjosef-k.net

    vmailboxes:
        testjosef-k.net *
        test2josef-k.net *

This looks to me as if there are two mailboxes defined: test and test2
at josef-k.net, and that there are two aliases defined also.

Strangely if I attempt to deliver mail to test3josef-k.net I get:

    Jun 2 02:10:14 transwarp postfix/qmgr[65370]: 624B4EA52: from=<roottao.org.uk>, size=304, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
    Jun 2 02:10:14 transwarp postfix/pipe[65469]: 624B4EA52: to=<test3josef-k.net>, relay=cyrusx, delay=0, status=bounced (data format error. Command output: test3josef-k.net: Mailbox does not exist )

Why is cyrusx trying to deliver mail to test3josef-k.net? It's not
mentioned in the vmailboxes file. Shouldn't something be saying
user-unknown before it attempts the delivery agent?
