Stock qmail cannot do this, because qmail-smtpd (the program which actually
accepts mail over the network) doesn't know anything about local users -- it
only knows which domains it should accept mail for (the ones in rcpthosts).
It's not a simple problem, because of aliases, user extension addresses,
virtual users and domains, and wilcards (-default).

Someone did do the work of adding this capability to qmail-smtpd, essentially
copying the code out of qmail-send. Search the qmail list archives to find a
reference to it.
