For the beginning, just make sure that you have a fully qualified hostname
in /etc/sysconfig/network, like

HOSTNAME=myhost.domain.tld

and add apporpriate entries to /etc/hosts, like
127.0.0.1        localhost.localdomain localhost
xx.xx.xx.xx      myhost.domain.tld

This should be okay with the default config, if you have set the hostname
correctly.

Please NO!
Transport 'cyrus' is deprecated with cyrus-imapd 2.x. Use LMTP for local
delivery, like

mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp
