I don't know what version of sendmail you are running but recent versions
of sendmail include a cyrusv2 mailer, so you could try changing

MAILER(`cyrus')

to

MAILER(cyrusv2)dnl

and regenerating your sendmail.cf file and change

CYRUS           cyrus:INBOX

to

CYRUS           cyrusv2:INBOX

in /etc/mail/mailertable

The normal way to run cyrus is actually to make it the local mailer
(I am not sure if cyrusv2:INBOX above works).

To use cyrusv2 as the local mailer add

define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrusv2')

to your mc file before the mailer defininitions (you still need to include MAILER(local)).
You could then remove the aliases pointing to x at CYRUS.

The permissions issues mentioned in previous messages still apply.
