I'm wokring with the Sendmail guys on a better solution (perhaps for
8.13 or a FFR for 8.12.x), but this seems to work:

+ <ul>
+ <li> It is easiest to use the mailertable to route mail to Cyrus,
rather than 
+ adding the domain to the local-host-names file ($w).  This prevents
Sendmail 
+ from changing the domain name to the local host name.
+ <pre><kbd>
+ example.com              cyrusv2:/var/imap/socket/lmtp
+ </kbd></pre></li>
+ 
+ <li> You'll have to use the Cyrus mailer in LMTP mode, and you'll have
to 
+ change the mailer flags so that it provides the full domain while 
+ communicating LMTP.  Specifically these changes:
+ 
+ <pre><kbd>
+                 S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP
+ </kbd></pre></li>
+ </ul>
