And the solution was to change the exim configuration file to:

cyrus_delivery:
  driver = lmtp
  command = "/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -l ${local_part}"
  delivery_date_add
  envelope_to_add
  return_path_add
  user = cyrus


ie., driver = lmtp, not driver = pipe. Pipe makes exim send the actual message
ie., From: ... to deliver -l, which isn't what it expects to receive..


Cheers,

Patrick
