Try something like (adapt to your requirements):

cyrus_imap:
user = imap
transport_filter = /usr/bin/tr -d \\000
.ifdef LMTPUNIX
driver = lmtp
socket = LMTPUNIX
batch_max = 20
timeout = 1m
.else
driver = pipe
message_prefix =
command = "/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -r ${return_path} ${local_part}"
ignore_status = false
temp_errors = 73 : 75
.endif
