Run 'deliver -l'  as the cyrus user (that's a lowercase L, not a one),
then:

LHLO foo
MAIL FROM:<foo at bar.com>
RCPT TO:<jsd at rs2.spot.com>
DATA
FROM: <foo at bar.com>
TO: <jsd at rs2.spot.com>
SUBJECT: LMTP test

bla, blah
.
QUIT


And see what happens.  You might also want to try RCPT TO:<jsd> and see
if it makes a difference.
