Change the name of .qmail-gv to .qmail-gv-default.
When qmail receives an email addressed to gv-ext, the above line tells it
to look for .qmail-gv-ext. If the file exists, qmail uses the file. If
the file does not exist, qmail then looks for .qmail-gv-default. If this
file exists, qmail uses this file. If the file does not exist, qmail
looks for .qmail-default.
Notice: At no time in the above sequence does qmail look for or use
.qmail-gv.
