So the question is this - does the latest check_delivery plugin work
with vpopmail-sql? and if it does, will it honour the local
.qmail-default file in case it contains a special catch-all?
That plugin is not actively maintained[1], so AFAICT, the "latest"
version is what is found here:
<http://www.redhotpenguin.com/check_delivery>
though the top Google links seem to have gone away.
I'm asking because right now I am running a modified version of
check_delivery that is a year old, but it does what I need. It consults
the mysql database to check if the mailbox exists, and then it also
consults the domain's .qmail-default file. If the file contains the word
'bounce' it will indeed say the mailbox does not exist. If it contains a
local email address, it will accept the mail.
If the modified version works for you, please share it so it can get
added to the repository (see #1 below).

1. check_delivery has not been added to the core because I was concerned
about the number of prerequisites required to make it work (specifically
suidperl). There was some discussion about how to add "unsupported"
modules to the repository back in October, but it got bogged down in
discussing how/where to check it in. I think the resolution was to add
a "contrib" folder where moderately unsupported plugins reside, but I
never followed up on that.
