Read the manpages, and configure cyrus deliver to use TCP sockets (cyrus
lmtpd must be told to listen on the TCP socket as well), or change the
permissions for the local unix socket.  If you're using a Debian package of
the 2.1 series, go read /usr/share/doc/cyrus21-imapd/* NOW.

Make sure you do understand the security implications of what you're doing,
you may end up opening email submission to anyone (which might be, or might
not be a problem in your setup).
