This is a simple one: 

  domain.com has to resolve to a public address.  Your MTA, whatever it
is, is set up for safety reasons to bind only to the localhost IP
address, and not to bind to the public IP addresses.  Go look at the
configuration files for the MTA and figure out what it needs to bind to
the public IP address.
