Have you registered 'virtdomain.com' and made sure there is a valid DNS MX
record for it which points to your server?

Have you configured an MTA (such as my favorite, Exim) on your server to
accept incoming SMTP connections from the outside world?

Does your firewall, if any, allow connections to port 25 (SMTP)?

Once these are all done, if it still does not work, try examining your logs
(/var/log/...) to see if you find any hints.

If still no go, write back and we'll try to think of more ideas.
