First add mail.domain.com to your local_domains.
Then add something like the following to your directors section:
# Subdomains to be delivered at the mail domain not as subdomain
# list of domains to deliver as domain.com
subdom:
driver = smartuser
domains = mail.domain.com
no_more
new_address = ${local_part}@???
Personally I have a bunch of domains like this listed for things like
www.domain.com, mail.domain.com, relay.domain.com, news.domain.com, etc.
It never ceases to amaze me what people think they should be able to send
mail to and expect it to just work.
