The LMTP Protocol is integrated in Cyrus. It will store the mails
in cyrus own format. Cyrus does not know how to handle maildir or mbox
as there is no need for this. You may be able to write an patch for this,
but i doubt that it will be added to cyrus.

If you want to use Cyrus, we may be able to help you
solve the problems/reasons. If you want to use Courier,
you should ask on the courier mailinglist how to deliver mails
from a remote postfix.
