If the RaQ is NOT to accept email for "anyone@xxxxxxxxxx" then you must
NOT check "Accept Email for this domain".  That shouldn't have anything
to do with making both www.domain.com and domain.com in the browser.  

If you do, then email from the Raq will never leave the RaQ.

You can change the line beginning:

@domain.com

in virtusertable, to

@domain.com	%1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Using the IP# of the server actually handling the email, but depending
on the server configuration they're using, it probably won't work
<frown>.  If you do:

%domain.com	%1@xxxxxxxxxx

it'll still create an endless loop; the MX record will never be checked
because the domain is oN the machine.
