Yeah, I'm here now but rather infrequently as of late. My day job is keeping
me quite busy.

Looks like you and Craig covered the bases pretty well. I don't use .qmail
files myself. There is a .qmail-default file in the domain's directory which
controls the catchall user (I do use catchall, but many people don't, both
for good reasons).

I use qmailadmin to maintain users, not the CLI. I would try (in qmailadmin):
.) set up a catchall account
.) create a new test account
Do some more testing and see what happens. Try intra-domain and inter-domain
mails. They're handled a bit differently.
What are the results?
