According to Cyrus IMAP documentation:

Configuring Exim 4

    Generate an Exim configuration file which delivers local mail to the
    IMAP server. See the Exim documentation for information on how to
    create a complete configuration file.


    Cyrus is designed to be used as a black-box server -- there are usually
    no local user accounts. As a result, you must define the following
    "router":


        localuser:
          driver = accept
          transport = local_delivery


    The following "transports" assume that you are using either the
    lmtpunix or lmtp service from one of the sample cyrus.conf files
    discussed above.


      * Using lmtpunix (UNIX socket):


        local_delivery:
          driver = lmtp
          command = "/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -l"
          batch_max = 20
          user = cyrus


      * Using lmtp (TCP socket -- Exim and Cyrus on same host):


        local_delivery:
          driver = smtp
          protocol = lmtp
          hosts = localhost
          allow_localhost
