There should be a line under the section of virtusertable labeled "#
accept-email-at-domain routes" that looks like:

@visualflux.net    %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The above line rewrites requests for the domain name to the FQDN beginning
with www.

Open the site config in the GUI and check Accept Mail for Domain.  That will
add the line I referred to above.
