Yes, but not be touching /usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer/cyrus.m4. FC4's
sendmail.mc comes with pre-definitions for using Cyrus-IMAPd.

You can resend them using formail. Or move the mail to a different IMAP
server and when Cyrus-IMAPd is up, transfer them again.

Why that?

You say first to use local_lmtp and then define to use deliver? You
better should use LMTP.

Do you really intend to use Procmail? For filtering Cyrus-IMAPd comes
with Sieve.

Not correct, that must be mailer cyrusv2.

More incorrect. That is very, very old syntax and obsolete. Probably you
copied entries you found in the www. Most of them are not correct as
outdated.

Use the aliases file to send root's mail to a mortal mailbox user.

You first have to decide how your whole mailer setup should be.
