James,
Perhaps the info in your users/cdb file is corrupt. I can't find any
problems in the info you have provided. Have you tried running
qmail/bin/qmail-newu? That will rebuild the cdb file.
If that fails, what about creating a test virtual domain and see if delivery
works for it? If it works, you can compare settings with the new domain to
pnamatrix.net.
Hope this helps.
