The qmail-users mechanism allows to add aliases, but it doesn't
prevent delivery to other deliverable addresses. If you want to make
mail to a valid user bounce, set up an assign entry to redirect it to
a ~alias/.qmail-nosuchuser containing:
|bouncesaying "no such user"

No, there are various "virtual user" solutions available from
www.qmail.org.
