I didn't understand this at first, but I think you mean you are using
the vpopmail package under the 'popuser' account.  Could you confirm
this?

Ok.

Where is this .qmail file?  If you're running vpopmail, qmail will
never look for a .qmail file.  It will only look for .qmail-default,
.qmail-<username> or .qmail-<username>-default.

See below.

How do you send mail?  Are you sending through tmda-ofmipd?  Have you
created an outgoing filter that tells TMDA how to tag the message?  At
this point, the only way to get TMDA to add an outgoing address to a
file is to use the 'bare=append' action, which means *don't* tag the
From: address; just use the From: that the sender (you) provided.
We're working on how to change this, so you can append from any
outgoing rule.

Also, the '=append' part won't necessarily add the address to your
whitelist.  It will append to the file you name in the configuration
variable 'BARE_APPEND'.

If the .qmail-<username>-default is in the wrong place, qmail will
think that you don't want to handle extension addresses.  If you're
using vpopmail, you have to use .qmail* files with different names
than if you are a regular system user, because of how qmail's virtual
domain handling works.
