Ahhhh, I see what you're doing. No, qmail-pw2u won't cut it. All
you're doing when you run qmail-pw2u is writing a new email delivery
database the same as the old database (/etc/passwd). What you want to
do is create your own mapping from email addresses to user accounts.
You might want to start with the output of qmail-pw2u, but given
virtualdomains entries like A, you'll want to add entries like B.
A: tjacobs.myip.org:tjacobs
B: =tjacobs-sales:mary:(mary's UID):(mary's GID):(mary's home directory):::
B: =tjacobs-users:john:(john's UID):(john's GID):(john's home directory):::
B: =tjacobs-bimbo:bill:(bill's UID):(bill's GID):(bill's home directory):::
Don't forget to make sure that the data you put into users/assign ends
with a "." on a line by itself.
