Isn't that deprecated behavior due to security problems? Seems like
there was a way for an attacker to cause incomplete domain names to
resolve incorrectly, e.g. "foo.com" resolves to "foo.com.edu" or
something like that. Which is why qmail uses the defaultdomain and
plusdomain.

I don't think you can get the behavior you want with qmail. Why not
create aliases for these users instead?

Can't help you there.
