Qmail can be tricky, largely because things are only documented on one particular man page, there are forward references between the man pages, and often what things mean, and what you think they mean, can be at odds.

In addition to the suggestion Stuart made about locals and virtualhosts,
you may also want to check out the documentation about the alias user.
ie, in /var/qmail/alias can be a bunch of .qmail files (typically root,
mail-daemon, postmaster, ie
.qmail-root
.qmail-postmaster
.qmail-mailer-daemon
This assumes that Qmail is installed "properly" (ie DJB's way) has its
alias user set up, etc. I seem to recall that the Debian maintainer
attempted to "fix" the setup, so god knows where it expects things to
be.
See qmail-send(8) for details on virtualdomains, and perhaps
