@       IN      SOA     @  root.localhost (
                        1 ; serial
                        28800 ; refresh

sirindia.com.               IN      A       192.168.1.60

========================================================================
I am sending mail to sirindia.com which is well configured on  192.168.1.60 ..

postconf   -n  gives the output ...
=======================================================================

alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
command_directory = /usr/sbin

debug_peer_level = 2
fallback_transport = cyrus
inet_interfaces = all

mail_owner = postfix
mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
manpage_directory = /usr/local/man
mydestination =
mydomain = sirindia1.com
myhostname = mail.sirindia1.com
myorigin = $myhostname
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /etc/postfix/readme
relay_domains = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain,sirindia1.com,mail.$
mydomain, www.$mydomain
sample_directory = /etc/postfix/samples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
setgid_group = postdrop
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name ($mail_version)
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 450
====================================================================================
I am using the lmtp ... & transport table ..

/etc/postfix/transport  has following  entry 
 
        sirindia1.com   lmtp:sirindia1.com
======================================================================================


So .. How to overcome the problem ???
