OK...I didn't know virtual users actually existed. Somewhere along the line
qmail has to know where to deliver the mail to, and this is pulled
(eventually, no matter how many virtualhosts and aliases you have) from the
passwd file or NIS map. It will go to the home directory, open .qmail and
see where to store the e-mail. A virtual user? I might be wrong (not
unusual), but I don't believe that is possible. Could you e-mail the
contents of the virtualhosts file? (If you included it at first, sorry, I
have deleted that e-mail already...)
