Sorry: You misunderstood the problem. The recipients exist, but Cyrus
IMAP local delivery refuses to accept any mail *from* a fake 8-bit
*envelope-sender* address. In full accordance with RFC-2821 quoted in my
first message: "receiving systems SHOULD reject such commands, normally
using "500 syntax error - invalid character" replies.""

The best solution is to stop bogus messages at Postfix stage, and
check_sender_access pcre:mapname solves just this problem.
