I'm just about to do some major testing with cyrus and I've been having
a terrible time with replication throwing up these types of errors
randomly. I don't understand what this "promoting" and "DELETE" are
trying to do. I definitely don't want to delete the user.cyrus under
any condition, so why is it trying to delete it?! How can I fix these
errors oh great gurus of replication?
The reason that the user.cyrus is even showing is that in postfix, I
tell it to "always_bcc" the cyrus user. This way I have a running queue
of all of the messages that I have received on this server. This is so
if we failover and I have to use the replica, I can bounce the email
that may not have been processed by the sync process when I bring the
master back up.

This suggests that the Mailbox UniqueID on the replica does not match the
mailbox UniqueID on the master. The replication system wants to delete the
old version so that it can update the new mailbox.
Check the cyrus.header files.
Failed to delete user.cyrus: Operation is not supported on mailbox
Looking at mboxlist_deletemailbox() there is a specific test to stop the
currently logged in user from deleting their own inbox. I infer that you
are running replication as user cyrus. I would suggest that you
"always_bcc" to some other mailbox, preferably not an admin user.

-> USER cyrus
This is just a consequence of the delete operation failing. The
replication engine retries before giving up completely.
