If you are running Sendmail, look into Sendmail's socket map support 
(smmapd).  The Cyrus 2.2.3 changes list:

   Sendmail socket map support (smmapd) for verifying that mailboxes exist
   and are deliverable before accepting the message and sending it to
   Cyrus.

Otherwise, just let Sendmail queue the message and attempt to deliver the 
message to Cyrus.  If the user does not exist, Cyrus will let Sendmail 
know during the LMTP handshake.
