Yes, there is a user on the server named "support".
There are no aliases of, or pointing to "support".
There is only one entry in the virtusertable refrencing support and it's:
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    support

It looks like if sendmail is unable to find a virtusertable entry, it simply
ignores the domain name and just looks up the user.  I tried this with other
accounts (cooperj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx does not exist, but mail got delivered
to the "cooperj" account which belongs to a third domain).
