If advocast.com *is* the local machine, then you MUST put it in
mydestination and you MUST remove its "advocast.com whatever" entry
from the virtual map.

All this makes me almost want to go back to sendmail-style virtual
domains, because they share the user name space with the local
machine so that mail will never loop.
