Many people have had it and (almost) just as many solved it, I guess.
It's not your www A record, it's not even your MX record, since mail obviously arrives at your machine.
The problem is that sendmail doesn't know it should locally deliver mail for domain.com, but the MX record says it should. Therefore, you should tell sendmail to accept mail for this domain; ie: add it to "class w" (see sendmail.org).
On a RaQ, you enter the virtual site in the GUI and tell it to "accept mail for this domain" (or something similar). Maybe this is not turned on. Anywho, given the RaQ's point of view on these matters, you could check Control Panel --> E-mail Server and it will list what domain names it receives mail for. Check that (www.)domain.com is listed there.
Should do the trick... Nico
