What version of Cyrus are you running? If you are running 2.1.x you can
deliver to an LMTP socket instead of using deliver. An example transport:
local_delivery_cyruslmtpsocket:
driver = lmtp
batch_max = 35
socket = /var/imap/socket/lmtp
user = cyrus

I suspect other more advanced users (read: more competent) haven't had the problems I have run into, but as a relative newcomer I found it difficult to find all the right information to glue these pieces in place. Let me know and I can put together a howto.

If I clear the never_users setting and retry the email, everything works fine! That's good, but I assume the never_users=root is on purpose... Should I leave never_users=root? Can I subsequently give the mail user permission to set the $received_protocol in the transport? Right now if I set 'user = mail' on the transport, I don't think it properly sets the $received_protocol.
