The easiest way would probably be to use the deliver(8) utility and feed 
it the message.

Otherwise, you'll have to copy the message into the proper directory, 
using the next UID as its filename, make sure that the permissions are 
correct, and then reconstruct the mailbox.  If you're new to Cyrus, you 
should read the deliver(8) manpage.
