 There really isn't a .qmail-default that affects all domains.
 Is the .qmail-default for tigerknight.org set to bounce-no-mailbox?

I don't run vpopmail, so there isn't a 'tigerknight.org' directory.
Therefore any alias under /var/qmail/alias affects all domains that are
accepted by the server (and there are about 4). So the .qmail-default that
exists under /var/qmail/alias has been put in place and the only line is:

# bounce-no-mailbox

Exactly as directed in the instructions, yet it has no effect and a
message gets accepted as deliverable to an address whether an account
exists or not.

 Is tigerknight.org in /var/qmail/control/locals?  If so, it isn't
 handled by vpopmail, and I don't know whether chkuser will identify it.

Yup - it's in there.

The website listed this list as being the support location for both qmail
and netqmail/vpopmail etc. so I posted here. Could you tell me where the
proper list is if they are incorrect?

As for relaying, I'm using pop-before-smtp and it's worked great - but how
does that affect chkuser?

 This is a very common problem, but you posted to the vchkpw list, which is
 FOR VPOPMAIL. You need to post to the qmail list for qmail-specific
 questions that are unrelated to vpopmail.

 A hint though: you probably need selective relaying. Read about tcp.smtp,
 SMTP-Auth, and possibly the older method of roaming users support with
 POP3 (check-before-send).

it doesn't. my .qmail-default for the general mail server (affecting
