Almost, but not quite.  You have to call Cyrus' "deliver" program to
actually deliver the mail; you can't just write it to the end of a
particular file.

That looks similar to what I tried to do, which the exception of calling
"deliver" as the final step.  I'm not sure why that didn't work - the mail
just silently disappeared (wasn't in Cyrus' spools, wasn't in
/var/mail/username) although /var/log/maillog didn't show any errors.

I may be showing my ignorance here, but what is "IFS"?  Googling for
"sendmail forward ifs" returned over 3000 hits, none of them actually
explaining it.
