Is "Accept Email for Domain" checked for www.domain.com?  If so, then
I'd want to see a copy of your /etc/virtusertable file.

What happens when you try to send email to user@xxxxxxxxxx?

Does it get returned with an error message?  Does it just disappear into
thin air?

These records look good.  However, without knowing the real domain name
in question there's no way I can see if you've done something wrong.
