Actually, I misread the suck manpage.  Something like this works just 
fine for fetching from INN and feeding to Cyrus:

suck -bp -hl localhost -A -c -H

You should set -dd, -dm and -dt accordingly, and optionally use -n. 
Also, if you are going to make this an event in cyrus.conf, then -s and 
-e probably make sense.
