Look near the end of your sendmail.cf file, you find a section something 
similar to this:

Mcyrus,         P=[IPC], F=lsDFMnqA@/:|SmXz, E=\r\n,
                 S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
                 A=FILE /var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp

Make sure that the file that the A=FILE record is pointing to actually 
exists on your system, the location might be different depending on 
configuration options etc. If the A=FILE record point to a file that 
doesn't exists, locate the correct location and edit either the 
sendmail.cf file directly or cyrus m4 macro.
