Using the "-a" option doesn't work because then the frontend doesn't have a set of credentials for proxying. At least, that's what my testing showed. Try creating a "cyr_lmtp" (or whatever you want to call it) user on both your backends and frontends. Then add the following: On backends: lmtp_admins: cyr_lmtp murder On frontends: lmtp_admins: cyr_lmtp Then make sure your MTA is authenticating as cyr_lmtp when it connects to the Cyrus lmtpd.
