My favourite recipy for this is to include put

nowhere.mil:bob-nowhere

in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains

and

then create 

a ~bob/.qmail-nowhere-default

that will handle all mail to the domain nowhere. bobs normal mail is
still handled by ~bob/.qmail

If bob wants to handle one specific adress (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) in a
special way, then he creates ~bob/.qmail-nowhere-alice which will handle
this mail.

If he wants to handle alice-* also specifically, then he creates
~bob/.qmail-nowhere-alice-default that will handle this mail.

If no specific dot-file is found then ~bob/.qmail-nowhere-default will
be used. qmail WILL NOT revert to bobs ~bob/.qmail for
nowhere.mil-deliveries.

MOST IMPORTANT: nowhere.mil HAS to be included in
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts BUT NOT in /var/qmail/control/locals
