You can:

* make sendmail use ldap query as genericstable map to make sendmail rewrite 
the addresses in bounces to the version you want

OR

* make sendmail check presence of cyrus mailbox before accepting the incoming 
recipient [it also protects you against "dictionary recipient" spam]

BTW Do you plan to use "autocreate inbox" patch ?

P.S.
