OK, alias user handles all virtual domains.

OK, typical virtual domain set-up.

virtualdomains:
domain.com:alias-domaincom
~alias/.qmail-domaincom-default:
|forward "$EXT2"@localhost
(might need $EXT3 of just $EXT; I can't be sure without testing it.)

Ugh. That really complicates things. (If you wanted sam-*@domain.com
redirected, that'd be a lot easier.)
First, create a virtual domain for domain.com:
domain.com:domaincom
Then in users/assign redirect the various pieces of the domain (two
lines):
+domaincom-:alias:[UID of alias]:[GID of nofiles]:/var/qmail/alias:-:
domaincom-
+domaincom-sam:alias:[UID of alias]:[GID of nofiles]:/var/qmail/alias:-:
domaincom-sam-
Then create the above ~alias/.qmail-domaincom-default and a
~alias/.qmail-domaincom-sam-default containing:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, you're doing great. It's just that what you want isn't trivial to
describe or implement.
