This is not exactly true.  If you switch to Cyrus from something  
else, you will have to  make sure that your mail is delivered to  
Cyrus instead if however it was being done before (local mbox or  
maildir for example).  I have not run Cyrus in many years but they  
had their own delivery agent that your local mail agent (mda/mta like  
sendmail, exim, etc) would hand off to.  Has this changed or does it  
still work that way?
