What was the envelope recipient? What _exactly_ was the bounce message?
You didn't specify either, leaving us to guess. With the .qmail file above,
I would expect you tested sending to "john-paul.doe@yourdomain", but I've
learned not to assume much on this list. Also, show us the log entries for
this attempted/failed delivery.
What is the system account name for this user?
