--------------------------------------------

Recopiling some ideas from other members I use this line in cron:

59 * * * * cp /etc/mail/virtusertable /etc/mail/virtusertable.owm
0 * * * * perl -pi -e "s/www\.//g" /etc/mail/virtusertable.owm

Every hour on minute 59 duplicates the virtusertable file to a new one
virtusertable.owm and the next minute the other line removes the www from
the emails.

In the file openwebmail.conf.default I add this line, so open webmail reads
the file that not contains the www

virtusertable           /etc/mail/virtusertable.owm

The only detail is that you need to wait until the next hour before use
openwebmail when creating a new user
