The problem is that deliver *only* works with unix lmtpd sockets. So, how
we dealt with the issue in our environment is run with both lines in the
cyrus.conf file, allowing either TCP connections or unix socket connections.
Then we configured sendmail to use the TCP connection when delivering the
mail to LMTP. If some external application needs to use deliver for any
reason, then that will work too, since deliver will use the unix socket.
It is too bad that deliver doesn't read the cyrus.conf file to determine
what sockets are available and to use what it finds (giving preference to
the TCP socket if they are both turned on).
