Let's assume you have a cyrus user (part of a virtual domain) called 
"user1 at foo.org". Remove virtual_alias_domains and virtual_alias_maps 
from your main.cf file and add these lines instead..

transport_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/transport
relay_domains = foo.org
relay_recipient_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/relay_recipients

Then add your information in this format to the above mentioned files..

For /usr/local/etc/postfix/transport
foo.org		lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp

For /usr/local/etc/postfix/relay_recipients
user1 at foo.org		accept
