There is a particular reason why domain.com points to 127.0.0.1
Some foolish vendors would put "domain.com" throughout their sample
config files, and equally foolish admins would install them. The root
nameservers very quickly realized that they were handling a lot of queries
for domain.com. Negative caching of nonexistant entries only works for 10
minutes, so it was thought the best way to short-circuit this whole mess
is register domain.com
I recommend that you add:
sender_reject_recipients = domain.com:localhost
