What about it?  LMTP is a protocol, not a destination.  Cyrus's lmtpd  
delivers to Cyrus's mailstore.

Older Cyrus had a "deliver" program which did the same thing, and  
fell back to standard Unix mailboxes under /var/spool/mail if the  
user didn't have a Cyrus inbox, but I don't know if 2.x's lmtpd does  
this and I'm quite certain it does not support e.g. Maildir delivery  
to home directories.
