I have had a similar problem. If you are running FreeBSD and compiled
Cyrus source code manually, it might check UNIX domain socket as if
it were TCP connection. Eventually, lmtp will be rejected by libwrap.

To avoid that, apply the following patch:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/mail/cyrus-imapd2/files/patch-df?rev=1.3&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

I'm not sure if this is applicable to platform other than FreeBSD, but
hope it would be helpful.
