Ken,
I managed to get it to work. From the errors that I was getting, "No such
user here" I decided to manually edit the virtusertable
/etc/mail/virtusertable.
The user already had 2 aliasas
testiso at www.virtdomain.com	testiso
testiso at virtdomain.com		testiso

I added two extra aliases
testiso at serverdomain.com	testiso
testiso at localhost			testiso

That made it work, the server no longer thinks the user doesn't exist.
The problem was that the server was looking for the user at the main server
level, and even though it exists on the virtual server level, it did not
exist at the main server level if that makes any sense.
It's a roundabout way of getting it to work, but at least it's working now.
Very weird problem.
Thanks.
