That's the way the code in qmail-lspawn is written, however qmail-pw2u
insists on inserting an ``alias'' user which matches any address not
otherwise found. Try doing ``grep "^+:" /var/qmail/users/assign''.
If it's found, then qmail is definitely not running qmail-getpw. You
can verify this by ``chmod 0 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-getpw''.
If, on the other hand, you've removed that line from users/assign,
then you'll definitely get a mixed bag of deliveries, some through
users/assign and some through qmail-getpw.
