I am somewhat new to qmail, but i have successfully(for the most part anyhow) setup qmail on a couple servers,  It so far has been easy to install and maintain.
However when i decided i would like to setup virtual domains I feel I dont really understand how or why qmail works the way it does, and how i can get it to work the way i would like(or something close to the way i would like).  I am writing this with the hope that someone will know what i need to do to get qmail completely setup the way I envision. 
 
I would like qmail to handle virtual domains by putting mail from a virtualdomain that ~user owns in ~user/mail/somevirtualpopuser instead of vpopmail having directories for each domain under its sub directory
i could care less if the ~user even owns the mail directory, i more or less would like a quota limitation on mail in a per-domain basis so that all users wouldn't suffer (as much) it someone got their domain email bombed or something else which would have the same effect.  then i would like qmail-pop3d to check to what domain a pop3 connection request was issued to (sortof like wu-ftpd will with virtual ftp servers and chroot to the directory of the user that owns the domain the request came for) so it could only serve mail for users@thatdomain and unlike vchkpw where you enter the user%domain to login you just have the pop client configured to get mail from your domain, and you wouldn't need any special user names.
 
but im not picky, and could just do symbolic links or something to get the virtualdomains mail to their users directories that own them. any suggestions that anyone may have, probably short of learning c(because i need a sort of quick fix) would be appriciated.  feedback as to why this would be dumb/impractical is also welcome.
