    I have Postfix + Cyrus runnig fine. Postfix uses lmtp unix socket
to pass messages to Cyrus IMAP. Now i want to fetch mail from another
domain and deliver it to cyrus through lmtp. I know an "--lmtp" flag
for fetchmail. But how to use it with unix sockets.  Any help is
appreciated.

fetchmail wants to talk via stream sockets (TCP). Can Cyrus open an LMTP
listening socket, perhaps only on the 127.0.0.1 address?

Otherwise, what prevents you from routing through Postfix? Centralized
logging and perhaps filtering doesn't seem too bad.
