Welp, solved the ctl_deliver DBERROR issue (just needed to do more reading). For those who are running into the same issue I am, you need to create /var/imap/deliverdb/db, chown them cyrus:cyrus, and chmod 0755 (for both deliverdb and the subdir db). At this point cyrus-imapd-2.0.12_3 is starting up OK. But I'm still left with the question: How are users shared? How does pwcheck fit in the picture? And how do I have some users to only exist in Cyrus and some in the BSD system (admin purposes etc)? Or can I have cyrus accept mail for both cyrus users as well as system users?
