OK.

Correct - ~user001/.qmail and place it there.

As far as I can see, you haven't expanded the template. I guess you also
have gregswallow.dhs.org in as a virtualdomain from the web interface.
Display the full headers of the mail to check how it's being delivered.

No, you also need to expand the template (before sending the SIGHUP).
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
will expand the template and SIGHUP qmail-send for you. It's overkill, but
you do need to be careful if using expand-template directly that you get
the output permissions correct, especially on rc.d/init.d/masq for example.
Please note: /sbin/e-smith/expand-template is only for testing. The action
scripts take care to set the permissions properly, but expand-template has
no way to know this information.

That was to workaround a bug which has now been fixed.

The warning is true - don't edit the file directly. It will be clobbered
next time the template is expanded. The "virtualdomains.swp" warning means
that you are already editing the file with another copy of vi.

They won't change.
