Maybe not. Which MTA do you employ? If problems arise within LMTP you won't
see them:
your mail -> sendmail/postfix/other-MTA -> deliver -> lmtpd -> cyrus-box
^^-- problem?
One way to debug problems within LMTP (maybe box does not exist/cannot be
found) goes as follows:
- set preforks within /etc/cyrus.conf to 0
- start cyrus master
- do an "strace -f -p <pid of cyrus master>", let it run
- and send some mail while looking at the strace output
(you will see even more with an "ltrace". Both are linux specific, if you
use some other OS, those utils are called "truss", "ktrace" ....)
You may then see that deliver/lmtpd could not deliver the mail because
of some misconfiguration/permission problems.
