The man pages for the version of qmail I'm using says that the
cdb file is made from the assign file:
"qmail-newu reads the assignments in /var/qmail/users/assign
and writes them into /var/qmail/users/cdb in a binary format
suited for quick access by qmail-lspawn."

I think you want this line to go into /var/qmail/users/aliases. Then
run qmail-newu, which will gen the cdb file. I think you might need to
restart qmail too.
