Yes. It's clearly (to me) described in the basic documents that come
in the tarball, and described in much more detail in Life With Qmail
(lifewithqmail.org).
The basic idea is you set up dom-1.dom and dom-2.dom as virtual
domains. In the virtualdomains file put things like:
dom1-dom:dom1
dom2-dom:dom2
and create local users dom1 and dom2, who will control dom1 and dom2
respectively.
Now, in ~dom1 (that's the home directory for user dom1; that's given
in the passwd file), the file .qmail-info will control what is done
with email for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and in ~dom2, the file .qmail-info will control what is done with
email for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Or you can use a virtual domains add-on package like vmailmgr or
vpopmail to centralize control of the virtual addresses, if you
prefer. For large complex setups I think the add-on is better. For
smaller simpler setups (like mine with a a dozen or so domains and
mostly a few dozen forwarding addresses in them) I find using users
and .qmail files easier and clearer. Also very easy when I delagate a
domain to somebody.

Your english seems quite good, from this message anyway.
