The user www is www, so you shouldn't need to sudo to run as that
account. Did you mean to setup the rule for the postfix user? Or a
postfix target account?

That said, I think what you typed should have worked. You shouldn't have
seen "www is not allowed to execute ... as www", because your sudoers
file says otherwise.

Assuming your account has full sudo, what do you see if you type:
  $ sudo -u www sudo -l

Hopefully, because of the NOPASSWD in there, you won't have to produce
www's password.

Is your script (postfixadmin-domain-postdeletion.sh) readable and
executable by user www?

Do you have any trailing characters or something on the line with your
sudo rule which might make sudo think you've typed a literal command
with arguments instead of a command that can be run with arbitrary
arguments?
