Hi David,

The mailer definition that you are using in your cyrusv2.mc file is for
cyrus version 1. You need to use the mailer definitions from
/path/to/sendmail/source/cf/mailer/cyrusv2.m4; you have those from
/path/to/sendmail/source/cf/mailer/cyrus.m4 instead.

One precaution: you are using the "deliver" program for mail delivery
to cyrus (the default with version 1). The cyrusv2 mailer definition
uses lmtp instead, which, I believe, is the preferred method. You will
need to change this if there is a particular reason that you want to use
"deliver", or check in /etc/cyrus.conf to see if you are starting the
lmtp service there.

HTH, Mike.
