For discussion's sake, please consider the following excerpt from
PIC.rem2local:

qmail-send      Look at envelope recipient, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
     |          Is heaven.af.mil in locals? Yes.
    |          Deliver locally to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
     V

qmail-lspawn ./Mailbox

     |          Look at mailbox name, joe.
     |          Is joe listed in qmail-users? No.    <== My concern is
here (1)
     |          Is there a joe account? Yes.
     |          Is joe's uid nonzero? Yes.
     |          Is ~joe visible to the qmailp user? Yes.
     |          Is ~joe owned by joe? Yes.
     |          Give control of the message to joe.
     |          Run qmail-local.

Is Step (1) implemented by qmail-users? If so, does qmail-users run
automatically once /var/qmail/users/cdb has been created with
(qmail-pw2u and) qmail-newu?

If there is no /var/qmail/users/cdb, is Step (1) implemented by
qmail-getpw?

If /var/qmail/users/cdb exists and qmail-users cannot access account
info, is qmail-getpw automatically used as a last resort?
