There are multiple options:

1. Sendmail can use a mailertable with full addresses as keys, and you
could build that table from a list of valid users, routing them to
Cyrus, with a default entry routed to the 'error' mailer.

2. Sendmail has an access map. You could use it to allow relay to Cyrus
for all valid addresses and default the rest of the domain to reject.

3. There is a set of sendmail.cf rules packaged as
'RTCyrus' available via http://open-sendmail.sourceforge.net/ which is
supposed to check with Cyrus directly.

I have not worked with Cyrus recently so I can't vouch for #1 or #3 and
know that #2 was a pain to maintain many years ago.
