It does create them. I just tested:

 1. Created test account [email protected]
 2. Check if there is a .qmail file: there isn't
 3. Add forward via qmailadmin
 4. Check if there is a .qmail file: yes! it created 
/home/vpopmail/domains/0/strangecode.com/test/.qmail

I think .qmail files are fine. It results in a mixed jumble of configs, but as 
long as it works consistently and is documented we can rely on it to work.

This is a good point to refresh our memory that there are .qmail files in 
multiple locations:

    * …DOMAIN/.qmail-LOCAL
    * …DOMAIN/LOCAL/.qmail.
    * …DOMAIN/.qmail for the default .qmail file for the domain
    * /home/USERNAME/.qmail for real unix user accounts also have
