Several things have to be done to make sure on this:
1) Go into the Site Management screen for the domain, remove any aliases from 
users that are for that account.
Go into Site Settings, and (RaQ4) remove all entries from Email Server Aliases 
so its an empty box.
2) Go to the Control Panel from the web GUI, and into Parameters... for Email 
Server.
make sure the domain is NOT listed in either the Relay, or Host/Domain Aliases 
boxes.
Click Save Changes.

Then to check its worked, SSH in to your box and type:
sendmail -bv test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You should see something like this:
test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx deliverable: mailer esmtp, host yourdomain.com., user 
test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(Note the host yourdomain.com part showing that its actually going out to send 
that)

If it DIDN'T work, it would look like:
test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx deliverable: mailer local, user yourdomain
(Note the mailer local part showing its trying to drop it to a local mailbox)

Hopefully thats a complete answer for you/anyone else that gets stuck on this.
