Could you send your cyrus mailer specification ?
echo '=M' | sendmail -bt | grep cyrus

You seem to use something non standard. cyrus mailer provided with sendmail 
uses deliver program, cyrusv2 uses LMTP socket.

P.S.
You may also ask for help on news:comp.mail.sendmail and 
sendmail-questions at sendmail.org
[notify sendmail-questions if you post the same question to the group]
