 Actually I tested with sendmail and cyrus accepts it without problems,
I'm using the cyrus from debian testing (2.1.17) and delivery works fine.
'sendmail' is actually the postfix 'sendmail'  command and it delivers 
happily
to lmtpd without any problems.

 What version are you using ? any patches applied ?
