Simply put, it doesn't. Cyrus has its own mailstore and cannot use any
other.

I set up a qmail/cyrus impementation a while back and always meant to
write up a howto, but never did. Basically, though, qmail has a default
delivery agent that's specified (IIRC) as an argument to its startup
script. You can't specify deliver directly, so you have to write a
wrapper script around it. I think that that will bring you most of the
way to where you need to go, but it occurred to me while implenting it
that qmail has a real desire to deliver for local users on that system.
If you're trying to implement a blavk-box solution, you'll have to go to a
lot of effort, using qmail's delivery defaults mechanisms in order to get
it to deliver to users who do not have an account on that system.
