This "works" because you have a .qmail-default in each virtual
domain's home directory that calls vdelivermail, which eventually
reads and parses the user's .qmail.  However, as I mentioned in my
description of option 1, vdelivermail doesn't parse and execute .qmail
files the same way that qmail-local does.

I don't remember the specifics, off-hand, but I've read the code and
there are various "gotchas" that can occur.  I made the recommendation
I did because I feel it is safest to keep vdelivermail entirely out of
the picture.

If, in order to use vdelivermail's bounce handling for non-existent
users, you want to call it from the .../<virtualdomain>/.qmail-default
file, you need to ensure that there *isn't* a <user>/.qmail file,
because things really go haywire at that point.

There have been various discussions of this previously that you can
find in the archives, http://mla.libertine.org/tmda-users/ .
