Digging back in my memory, I believe, in this case, sendmail will "fall
through" to delivering mail to the underlying user "biz" on your system (if
he exists, of course).

You can prevent that by "terminating" each virtual domain in your virtual
domain aliases (virtusertable); like so:

biz@domain.com     biz@my-real-domain.com
@domain.com        error:nouser "550 User Unknown"

Do that for all your virtual hosts, and you should be ok. :)
