Not rejecting, "re-injecting". vpopmail is invoking qmail (probably
qmail-inject) and asking it to resend the message. That would be the reason
for the duplicate delivery headers Apparently, vpopmail is also successfully
delivering the message.

Yes. vpopmail works by telling qmail to deliver messages to
~/vpopmail/domains/virtualdomain.com/ (~ being whatever the vpopmail home
is, whether /var or /home or whatever). In that directory, there is a
.qmail-default that tells qmail to invoke the vpopmail delivery program to
actually deliver the message (IIRC). At that point, the vdeliver program
either delivers the message or returns an error to indicate no such user or
what not. A .qmail-user file will override the .qmail-default, and be used
for delivery instructions. To do this, you could cd into the particular
directory for the virtual domain, copy the .qmail-default file to the
appropriate .qmail-user name (e.g. .qmail-henry), then append your command
line for sending the alerts. If mail gets delivered but no alerts are sent,
then the vdeliver program is telling qmail to stop processing the .qmail
file, in which case you have to move your command line above the line(s)
provides in the .qmail-default file. It should theoretically be that simple.
