I don't know about the autoresponder issue, but I do know why some accounts in the domain directory are created under 0.  You must have in between 100-200 users, compile time option
--enable-large-site (I think) toggles whether to make subdirs to organize users in blocks of 100 for large sites.  When you get 200 users you will see a 1 directory created, and so on.  It's better than storing hundreds of users in one directory.  The home directory for each user is in the mysql database (if you are using mysql).

Yeah this is similar to what we had before vpopmail.... vpopmail does
something though that makes qmail break and create a loop
