When we migrated some of our users to Google Mail, we placed a final 
message in their Cyrus mailbox.  When they login, they can see "You've 
been migrated to Google!", and the message tells them how to find their 
email on Google.

To bypass email routing, you can use the "deliver" program on the Cyrus 
server to drop the message in the Cyrus mailbox.

Let me know if you need more information.
