Add domain1.com and domain2.com (without the www.) to control/rcpthosts.
Otherwise, you will not be able to receive mail for those domains via SMTP.
With your current setting, qmail will only accept mail for www.domain1.com
and www.domain2.com via SMTP.
control/locals should only contain dvp.deathvapor.org and deathvapor.org.
Remove everything else.
control/virtualdomains should contain:
domain1.com:user1
domain2.com:user2
Then restart qmail.
Then in user1's home directory, you need to have a .qmail-default file
containing delivery instructions. It will catch all mail for that domain.
Do the same for user2.
What basically happens is that when qmail sees a domain in virtualdomains,
it appends the recipient address to the username associated with that
virtualdomain and then treats it as local. In your case, when you send
email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it becomes [EMAIL PROTECTED] and is treated
as local. qmail then looks in zach's home directory for a .qmail-test file
for delivery instructions. Delivery instructions are documented in man
dot-qmail.
