well, no.. cyrus itself doesn't really care what accounts are available
in your ldap.. the ldap_filter in the saslauthd.conf is strictly for
authentication, when someone logs in to check their e-mail.  Cyrus
relies on the MTA (postfix) to verify that the e-mail is correct , and
that the cyrus admin (via cradmin or similar app) created the inbox for
the user (unless you are using the autocreate patch).

The filter itself is used to fetch the users DN within the directory for
authentication.
