ok, after looking at all of the posts that I've found, and trying

qmail is way obsolete and buggy.

Yes, in it's default form. Hence netqmail.
I've migrated away to Postfix ages before Postfix 1.0 was released and
never rued that change a split second...
and I suppose you've never upgraded it - right? :P
Ultimately, I really don't want to do a lookup of the home dir if I
don't have to. I'd rather specify the stuff in the .qmail-user
file for
that particular user to avoid the extra step.
...are home directory lookups so very expensive on your system?
Hard to
believe. I always found that qmail's (and qmail-send's) queue spooling
behaviour was what really hurted, with a dozen (or so) synchronous
writes for just spooling the message into the queue...
The bigger problem, other than a minor hardware/filesystem upgrade,
is does deliver obey .qmail files in the user's home directory?
It doesn't seem like it. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because if
it doesn't, you'll need to modify at least how user's vacations and
forwards are done.
