[vexim] Mail Failure Generated When Adding Relay Domain

Every time that I add a relay domain in Vexim then Vexim generates a 
welcome email that always fails because the welcome email's addressee 
(rcpt to:) has a blank local part such as:   @relaydomain.com.  Is this 
a known bug in Vexim or have I mis-configured Vexim?  Also, if it is a 
bug then what is the recommended fix for this behavior?

Attached below is an example of one of these mail failures.

Thanks,

Gordon Dickens
