We're running a couple of largish cyrus (2.x) imap servers (with sendmail).  
Our admin people have come up with a request to be able to deliver messages 
(from certain email addresses) to people who have reached their mailbox quota.  
We already do this for some administrative messages from the Cyrus servers 
themselves (using deliver -q) but would like ot be able to do this with 
messages generated outside the cyrus servers.

I'm assuming that we need to do something like creating a new mailer definition 
in sendmail and then routing stuff through that based on the sender address.  
However I've not been able to find anything about doing the second bit of that 
either in the sendmail or cyrus docs and thought that someone here is likely to 
have done this already.

Also would I need to use 'deliver -q' in the new mailer definition.  Our 
current cyrus mailer definition uses LMTP to a socket but I don't see a way to 
add arbitrary options to the RCPT commands (I've had a pretty good trawl 
through the sendmail source but I may well have missed something obvious)

Any suggestions welcomed.
