I fixed this in our system that using Exim for sending vacation messages.

Solution:

1. Create /usr/sbin/sendmail_cyrus:
cat > /usr/sbin/sendmail_cyrus << EOF
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/exim -dropcr \$*
EOF
chmod +x /usr/sbin/sendmail_cyrus

2. In /etc/imapd.conf change:
    "sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail"
to:
    "sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail_cyrus"

Not 100% sure it helps, but i worked for me ...
