Hmm - when I use 

/etc/main.cf
    virtual_transport = lmtp:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp

my mail log says:

If I try this:
/etc/main.cf
    virtual_transport = lmtp

my mail log says:

This is my cyrus conf file:


/etc/cyrus.conf
	lmtpunix        cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0


TIA,
