Uh, oh, I did this installation some years ago, and evidently have completely forgotten what I did. Having just checked what's installed on the server, I find that neither dovecot, nor cyrus are there, although the configuration files are, which led me to wrong assumptions. I seem to remember trying various options at the time, before settling on the present configuration, which is using courier, so that's why postfix can't find cyrus. On that basis, I changed the line "mailbox_transport = cyrus" to "mailbox_transport = courier" in /etc/postfix/main.cf. That got rid of the fatal error and allowed mail to be processed. I assume the change in hostname triggered an alternative delivery method for local recipients, which is why the misconfiguration wasn't a problem previously. I then used the hostname "shell.vanderhoff.org" instead of just "vanderhoff.org", which got rid of the warning. So, I've learned a bit more, thanks to everyone for their support.
