I don't see how cyrus could be the one dropping that line. Both SMTP and
LMTP require the transfered mail to end in a \n.\n combination (a dot on
its own line). Or aren't you delivering the mails to cyrus by LMTP and
use some (weird) other setup with cyrdeliver or the like? If so:
cyrdeliver really isn't intended to be used that way. It's for internal
use and some administration tricks, but LMTP really is the intended way
to use to deliver mails to cyrus normally.
