This is what this command returned:

mailer 9 (cyrus): P=[IPC] S=EnvFromL/EnvFromL R=EnvToL/HdrToL M=0 U=0:0
F=/:@ADFMSXlmnqsz| L=0 E=\r\n T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix r=100 A=FILE
/var/imap/socket/lmtp

This is what I have in my sendmail.cf:

Mcyrus,         P=[IPC], F=lsDFMnqA@/:|SmXz, E=\r\n,
                S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, 
                A=FILE /var/imap/socket/lmtp

Isn't that what I am using, since I use version 2?
