Authenticating Mail Users

[Krishna]

Hi,
      I am using Cyrus version cyrus-imapd-2.1.12-4 , I installed it from 
an rpm.
I did what you said and it worked. Users got authenticated via sasldb2 file.

Now I can't send mails through sendmail, I have configured it as was 
written in the How-To
but I get "Data format error"

Mar  5 18:18:51 linux sendmail[3923]: h25CmpH03923: 
to=<root at linux.krishna.com>, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrus, 
pri=30392, dsn=5.6.0, stat=Data format error
Mar  5 18:18:51 linux sendmail[3923]: h25CmpH03923: h25CmpI03923: return to 
sender: Data format error
Mar  5 18:18:51 linux sendmail[3923]: h25CmpI03923: to=root, 
delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrus, pri=30492, dsn=5.6.0, 
stat=Data format error
Mar  5 18:18:51 linux sendmail[3923]: h25CmpH03923: Losing 
./qfh25CmpH03923: savemail panic
Mar  5 18:18:51 linux sendmail[3923]: h25CmpH03923: SYSERR(root): savemail: 
cannot save rejected email anywhere
