A machine can only have one domain, so if you like, that is the master domain, 
and by default that is what is set up for postfix. Other domains in postfix 
can be virtual or canonical, it all depends on if they have separate users or 
not. But no, they don't have to be virtual

The normal solution is to check the box "receive system mail" in the user 
configuration for one of your users.

An alternative would be to log into cyrus once with your root account. That 
will create the mailbox.

But I would prefer the first version if I were you. You shouldn't use the root 
account unless you absolutely have to. It's much better to designate a normal 
user (or a couple of them) as administrative user, and send the mail to 
him/them instead
