One crucial thing to watch - deliver is setuid cyrus, its also executable
only by a single group in the default install (root should be OK!) I get
round this by specifying a "user = cyrus" on the transport.

I do use exim with cyrus, but I do some other things with it and so my
sources is not vanilla!
One thing to note is that there is a patch to the basic 1.4 functionality
that is available (well hidden) from the Cyrus pages.
This is my local transport. You can ignore the 3 -m flags and their
arguments - they are to enable basic mail filtering on user and domain
(and this is not correct syntax for the vanilla cyrus daemon).
local_delivery:
driver = pipe;
command = "/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -m ${lc:${local_part}.${domain}} -m
${lc:${domain}} -m ${lc:${local_part}} ${lc:${local_part}}",
prefix = "",
user = cyrus,
return_output
If you have specific queries then come back to me... however I *do* run
the thing in a strange way!
