That's not the problem.  I'm already calling the cyrus deliver program,

It's the users who dont have a corresponding system account who procmail
will refuse to deliver to.  I have traced this back to procmail.c (line
309 in version 3.22) where it does this:

You need to handle these users in /etc/procmailrc or
/etc/procmailrcs/username.
The easiest way is to use /etc/procmailrcs/some.rc with a SWITCHRC to the
user's ~/.procmailrc. If there is no such file (the user doesn't have a local
unix account), then it will continue processing some.rc, in which case you
deliver the mail as I previously described. There is no reason why procmail
should even care if the username it passes to "deliver" exists as a local unix
user at this point.
