Sendmail / Cyrus issues: user not found

Greetings!

I have Cyrus imapd 2.1.9 with Cyrus SASL 2.1.7 on a Linux 2.4.18-10 system.

The error Im getting from sendmail for the username "jon.mitchiner" as well as "jon.mitchiner at domain.com" is "User unknown".  The strange thing is I can enter any account name and Sendmail will accept the mail without verifying the user actually exists and then bounce the email later.

imapd.log shows the following:

Sep 26 11:04:53 localhost lmtpd[23648]: accepted connection
Sep 26 11:04:53 localhost lmtpd[23648]: lmtp connection preauth'd as postman
Sep 26 11:04:53 localhost master[23661]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/lmtpd
Sep 26 11:04:53 localhost lmtpunix[23661]: executed
Sep 26 11:05:22 localhost lmtpd[23661]: accepted connection
Sep 26 11:05:22 localhost lmtpd[23661]: lmtp connection preauth'd as postman
Sep 26 11:06:23 localhost master[23638]: process 23661 exited, status 0


sendmail logs do not show anything out of the ordinary except "User unknown"

I typed "lm" via cyradm said: "user.jon.mitchiner (\HasNoChildren) " 
Running "lam user.jon.mitchiner" via cyradm said: "anyone lrsip"

I am running "unixhierarchysep: yes" in my /etc/imapd.conf.

$ /usr/local/sbin/sasldblistusers2 

cyrus at domain.com: cmusaslsecretOTP
jon.mitchiner at domain.com: userPassword
cyrus at domain.com: userPassword

My sendmail.mc has the following (basically copied from doc/cyrusv2.mc with little changes)

divert(-1)
include(`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')
VERSIONID(`cyrus v2 sample configuartion')
OSTYPE(linux)
define(`confBIND_OPTS',`-DNSRCH -DEFNAMES')
define(`confTO_IDENT',`0')
dnl setting cyrus as the trusted user will make it easier to pass
dnl Sendmail's safefile checks.  however, it means that someone with the
dnl "cyrus" password could easily become root.
dnl define(`confTRUSTED_USER', `cyrus')
define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrus')
FEATURE(`nocanonify')
FEATURE(`always_add_domain')
MAILER(`local')
MAILER(`smtp')
MAILER_DEFINITIONS
Mcyrus,         P=[IPC], F=lsDFMnqA@/:|SmXz, E=\r\n,
                S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, 
                A=FILE /var/imap/socket/lmtp
LOCAL_RULE_0
Rbb + $+ < @ $=w . >    $#cyrus $: + $1


What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide.

Jon
