If the user's calendars are on the same server, then the iTIP is handled 
internally per RFC6638.  The MTA never comes into play for user's hosted 
on the Cyrus server.

Technically, for users outside the Cyrus server, we first try to use 
iSchedule (iTIP over HTTP with DKIM) and then fallback to iMIP (iTIP 
over SMTP).  No currently deployed Calendaring services support 
iSchedule but I have done interop testing with Apple Calendar Server, 
Bedework, and Oracle during CalConnect events.  Cyrus uses iSchedule 
(w/o DKIM) between servers in a Murder.  The draft for iSchedule will 
eventually (we hope) be accepted by the IETF CalExt WG and progress as a 
proposed standard.
