It sounds to me like postfix isn't accepting the mail for domain.com. I
would check the mydestination parameter in /etc/postfix/main.cf. it should
have $mydomain in the right hand side of the equation (alone; not
prepended with localhost or mail or smtp, although you probably want those
too) . Don't forget to give a 'postfix reload' command. On my mandrake
system, /var/log/maillog is where postfix complains about problems. I'd
run a "tail -f /var/log/maillog" using that box as your mail server and
see what it complains about.
Good luck,
burk
