ok. one of the relevant sections that i believe you are referring me
to is this:

    # Reject "faked" sender  addresses in cyrus domains


    deny sender_domains = +cyrus_domains
    message        = Sender unknown/invalid
    !verify        = sender/callout=defer_ok,5s


the thing is: that is a setup which _happens_ to fix the problem
_for cyrus_ users.

and i've demonstrated, i believe, with those 'exim4 -bh 127.0.0.1 -d'
tests, which are scripted at http://hands.com/~lkcl/exim4_config , that
the issue has nothing specifically to do with cyrus, and, right now,
affects quite literally every single installation of exim4 in
existence.

except for those that may have stumbled onto something that does the
equivalent job, somewhere in their config files, to this:

    deny
        message = <$sender_address> is an invalid address!
        log_message = <> is an invalid address.
        senders = :
