Maybe you mean Courier? Cyrus doesn't use Maildirs.

Why group rwx? Run transport as user cyrus and group mail and 700
permissions will be enough.
You can of course set directory_mode to 770.
From docs:
If appendfile creates any directories as a result of the
"create_directory" option, their mode is specified by this option.
