Best asking Andrzej, I abandoned cyrus a few years ago because it
would alwyas cry about db version when we do upgrades and at the time
(maybe still now today) was not cluster stable, since moving to
sendmail/qmail/vpopmail/mysql with nfs/netapp, nothing but rock solid
stability.

I personally like Sendmail with Cyrus-IMAP *BUT*
Do not fix what is not broken :-)

tst tst :) It broke originally when we upgraded from Slackware 9 to
11, we reinstalled backup and went Slack 9-10 and still broke, Cyrus
needs better programmers, even after recompile it still cried about
wrong db version *sigh*, hence why we gave up on it, it turns a simple
OS upgrade that usually takes 20 minutes into a 3 hour ordeal.

Would you like to *test* integrating vpopmail with sendmail?

As I understand you use sendmail with milter as SMTP front-end to
vpopmail/qmail/mysql.
I think there are a few issues replacing qmail with sendmail in the above:
1) SMTP AUTH -> sendmail may use pam-mysql
2) verification of recipient existence
How does your existing sendmail front-end delivers it?
3) *simple* modification of vdelivermail from vpopmail package to make
it accept user and host-name via command line instead of environment
variables
4) support for vpopmail running on a few different OS account
There should be no problems with one OS account, small problems with
a few account (<5) [custom sendmail.cf mailers per OS account]
5) automatic addition of new virtual domains will (initially?) require
manual procedure
