Make sure you also have the domain->www.domain rule in there, also

(Look down in the file for # accept-email-at-domain

you should have in there somewhere @domain.com %1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (The GUI
adds it, hopefully,without it , you can only get mail addressed as
someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)....I'm assuming a lot about your MX records btw

[I've been known to add the alias twice, it's silly, but sendmail can be
stubborn, and there is something ever so slightly strange in the raq2's
alias expansion ,fwiw, i've also been having issues with it not honouring 
rejects in the access file lately, sigh, maybe too many]


then do: 

makemap hash virtusertable <virtusertable

from in /etc , that will immediately regenerate the 
database...

(newaliases doesn't update virtusertable, it only updates aliases and
aliases.majordomo)
