Good.

Both this and your next attempt are incorrect. To do what you are trying
to do:
1. Add virtualnetwork.com.br to your /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file.
2. Add the following line to your /var/qmail/control/smtproutes file.
virtualnetwork.com.br:[1111.1111.1111.1111]
Replace the IP address above with the real address.
3. Remove all entries for virtualnetwork.com.br from the
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file.
4. kill -HUP (pid of qmail-send)
The mail should now be delivered as you intend.
NOTE: qmail does not use /etc/hosts - ever! Use smtproutes to get around
the DNS lookups for hosts that are not in DNS.
