Nothing wrong there.

Whoops.  That's a mistake.

Yes.  It's doing exactly what it should be doing.  Why are you going in 
and manually changing it?

If you've configured the site properly, you have the domain in the email 
server aliases box and therefore a line in the virtusertable like:
@domain.com       %1 at www.domain.com

In other words, leave virtusertable alone.  It was working precisely as 
intended.
