Yout postfix configuration is screwed, you list mail.sirindia.com in 
$relay_domains
so relay=smtp connects to mail.sirindia1.com and tries to deliver the 
message,
but conencts to the same postfix instance.
 If you list mail.sirindia1.com in $relay_domains, try to change 
relay_transport
to lmtp:unix:.... , you configured the local transport to be lmtp not 
the relay.

Please redirect your future postings to the postfix lists, it's not a 
cyrus problem
here.
