You set domains for deleting e-mails, not rejecting them when rcpt does not
exist.
For having not-existing recipients rejected, you must have:
/home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce
Use qmailadmin to change this behaviour.

I am not sure I understand your comment!
Appears to be true.
Surely CHKUSER is in the smtpd process not in vdelivermail! If this is true then the fact that I delete rather than
bounce should
not have any effect on CHKUSER!
In order for vdelivermail to delete the message, chkuser must accept it. The idea behind the delete option is that the
message is received, then deleted. Thus the sender is not aware of the rejection.
My old system had CHKUSER in smtpd and
it simply rejected emails for non existent users during the smtpd process.
I'm guessing that your old system had the 'bounce' setting as Tonino points out, not the 'delete' setting as you
presently have.
A quick follow up after a little more research.
It would appear the string searched for by
CHKUSER is not BOUNCE but BOUNCE-NO-MAILBOX.
After changing the .qmail-default to this CHKUSER now rejects
mail as it should.
Thanks for the suggested direction to look in.
