Maybe you misread... "without the use of CNAMES"
I have had the same issues for a long time and seen forums and mailing list posts where people have gone to many lengths to get  it to work and the simple act of following the DNS entries on the link you provided and the steps I provided solved the issues I had with aliases as the email would only work if using <username>@www.<FQDN>
I believe the page ( http://www.blueonyx.it/index.php?page=dns-for-email ) may have referred to my steps when stating:This assumes that "www.site.com" is the exact name of the site as shown in the virtual site list and that "site.com" has been set as "Email Server Alias" (and "Web Server Alias") for that site.
specifically:"site.com" has been set as "Email Server Alias"
If my steps of adding the email server alias is not correct I will need to setup another test box and check if the latest BO will work with just the instructions on the page (just setting the DNS entries listed in the tables) as last few times of setting up BO servers it would give me relay errors if I sent email to alias email addresses.
