I also thought that "virtusertable like" solutions [periodic dump of cyrus mailbox data into existing sendmail databases] are the best but most people had wanted "real time" synchronization.
True, this would be a long way of doing things. Shell/perl/web/etc scripts can automate the process of managing cyrus mboxlist and sendmail maps simultaneously thus keeping the two databases in sync "real time".
IMHO making cyrus daemon servicing also simple tcp based "map protocol" (to be introduced in sendmail 8.13) is a better way. I bet it :)
In my opinion it is better if it does more than just the mbox verification. I'd like to see the quota check as well. I am not sure if the "map protocol" allows for multiple return codes rather than just yes/no type answer. Then there is the performance consideration, I would hope that the "map protocol" allows for a "persistent" tcp connection.
I'm not sure that a separate daemon for Cyrus is needed. You can already do this by using the LIST and GETQUOTAROOT commands in imapd (as an admin).
