It sounds like you're trying to reinvent qmail-style virtual
users. For example, if you want to "hijack" mail sent locally to your
Hotmail account, say "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and your local
username is "greg", you could put the following in
control/virtualdomains:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:greg-hotmail
Then populate ~greg/.qmail-hotmail-default to direct the mail to the
appropriate mailbox.
