I think I'm getting closer to it.  Upgraded sendmail to 8.12.8-5.80, 
found and fixed a mistake with reverse DNS, and added post permission 
to the test mailbox ACL.  Now I can use deliver to put mail in 
user.testuser at cannibals.org, which is forward progress, but sendmail 
still won't do it.  The imapd log says:

May 22 21:57:16 donner master[4989]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/lmtpd
May 22 21:57:16 donner lmtpunix[4989]: executed

postman
May 22 21:57:16 donner lmtpunix[4989]: append_check() of 
'donner.cannibals.org!user.testuser' failed May 22 21:57:16 donner 
lmtpunix[4989]: append_check() of 'donner.cannibals.org!user.root' 
failed May 22 21:57:16 donner lmtpunix[4989]: append_check() of 
'donner.cannibals.org!user.root' failed 

A previous post from Ken suggests recompiling cyrus-imapd 2.2 with 
fulldirhash disabled, but I checked and I don't have fulldirhash 
enabled.  He also suggested putting the domain in the mailertable, 
which I also did without success.

I'll be tinkering with my sendmail config, and listening for more 
clues.  :)
