Yes.

No.

No, but it's very similar. The file is called .qmail, and the syntax
for forwarding to a remote address is:

It's possible to configure qmail to accept mail for those addresses.

That depends upon how you set it up. For example, you could handle
john.account via a system alias by creating
/var/qmail/aliases/.qmail-john:account (note the use of the colon [:]
instead of the dot [.]). In that file, you can direct the messages to
a local user, a remote user, a file, or a program.

If you want people to have POP accounts matching these names, that
could be problem. Most POP daemons expect users to log in with real
usernames and passwords. However, there are virtual user setups, about
which I'm blissfully ignorant, that might be able to accomodate this.
