Please don't yell. For every (virtual or otherwise) user you have to
specifiy a delivery method. If you want to deliver the mail to your virtual
users locally, yes, you have to do maildirmake for each of them. This can of
course easily be automated if you have a database of your virtual users
somewhere.
If you don't deliver the mail locally, you do have to specify some delivery
method, e.g. through .qmail files.

On some systems, when you do a 'useradd' that creates a home directory, the
useradd program will copy the files in /etc/skel to the newly created home
directory. You don't need this for virtual users.
