Reiterating what others have said...
If your server is just a backup MX server for yyy.com, it should only
appear in rcpthosts or morercpthosts. If there's another server with a
lower MX number, your server will queue the mail and try to deliver it
to yyy.com.
If your server is really a backup server in case the real server is
destroyed (vs. just falling off the net for a few hours), then you'll
have to remove yyy.com from /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains. You can
then keep the ~vpopmail/domains/yyy.com directory in-tact, possibly
updating it from the main server via rsync. When the old server kicks
the bucket, add yyy.com back into virtualdomains, update the DNS
records so you're now the primary DNS server, and you're off and
running.
