Some excellent reading: http://qmail.3va.net/qdp/docs.htmlhttp://qmail.3va.net/qmailfaq.html#otherhost http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#virtual-domainshttp://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#extension-addresses http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#aliases Finally don't forget if a user on the system is going to handle all of the mail for a virtual domain make sure that user has AT LEAST make a ~user/.qmail-default or the mail for the virtual domain will bounce. The .qmail-default has to have the delevery method the user likes to deliver their email. I used ./Maildir/ in my .qmail-default file.
