To build a sendmail.cf under FreeBSD 4.x, start with the freebsd.mc
file, which should be in /etc/mail. Copy that to some other name, and
put that name in /etc/make.conf in a SENDMAIL.MC= line.
For cyrus 2.x, change you need to make is like this:
FEATURE(local_lmtp)dnl
define(`confLOCAL_MAILER',`cyrus')dnl
MAILER_DEFINITIONS
mcyrus,
P=[IPC], F=lsSDFMnqA@/:|SmXz, E=\r\n,
S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
U=cyrus:cyrus, A=FILE /var/imap/socket/lmtp
The mailer definition should be the same as the one for 'smtp', but with
the U= added and the A= as shown. The argument to A= should be the lmtp
listening socket path specified in your cyrus.conf file.
This is an optimal setup. No extra processes will be spawned (with 2.x
deliver just does the equivalent LMTP delivery), envelope information
will be preserved (for Sieve), CCed mail will be hardlinked in the cyrus
filesystem.
To deliver to top leve dirs, specify +box.path. To deliver to a folder
under a user's INBOX, use user+box.
Nothing could be simpler.

I think you're mixing apples and oranges here. This has nothing to do
with sendmail. But it probably does mean that cyrus isn't running.
