Here's another recipe for setting up Exim+Cyrus, that uses TCP sockets and
the "smtp" driver instead of unix sockets and a "lmtp" driver - and is
what's worked for me. Setting up something like this probably won't
require recompiling Exim.
In /etc/services, add a line for lmtp, I picked port 26 out of my hat, but
any port number should work:
---------
lmtp 26/tcp # Local Mail Transfer Protocol - for Cyrus
---------
In your cyrus.conf, uncomment the line about lmtp, and add "-a" as an
option so Cyrus doesn't expect exim to authenticate. Cyrus will listen on
whatever port you specified as being "lmtp" in /etc/services:
----------
lmtp cmd="lmtpd -a" listen="lmtp" prefork=0
----------
In your Exim configure file, setup a transport like this. Exim will
connect to whatever port you specified as being "lmtp" in /etc/services.
----------------------
cyrus_delivery:
driver = smtp
protocol = lmtp
hosts_override = true
allow_localhost = true
hosts = 127.0.0.1
