The docs on dot-qmail would probably have been enough for this :-) But
that's OK.

What to you mean by "virtual directory"? The dot-qmail files are placed in
the directory owned by the user you refer to in the "virtualdomains" file,
or inside the ~alias directory.
Keep reading, I'll give you an example later.

OK, so here you point to a "matrixlist" user, or to a
~alias/.qmail-matrixlist-com-<something>

Now, for the examples:
Assuming you keep that "virtualdomains" line, you have 2 choices:
1) Set up a bunch of ~alias/.qmail-matrixlist-com-<something> files. In
this case, [EMAIL PROTECTED] would look for a file named
.qmail-matrixlist-com-test-request in ~alias.
2) Create a "matrixlist" user in the system. Inside that user's home, place
the .qmail-com-<something> files. For the previous example, it would be a
file named .qmail-com-test-request in ~matrixlist.
