If anyone has gotten this to work then I would very much appreciate knowing the exact steps that you followed to implement it.

1. I am not changing smtp MTAs, the legions of fans of qmail and

postfix notwithstanding.

2. Ditto for imap and dovecot.

This is not a matter for the MTA. You have to configure that in the MDA. e.g. if procmail is the MDA then in a procmail recipe.

Sendmail handles it to the extent of looking for a .forward+additional in your home directory (if it has read permission)and can do the things you would do in a .forward file (redirect to other addresses or a file) but for cyrus folders the delivery program has to do it.
