"that domain".
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts doesn't contain the domain name of the
recipient, and tcp-env or tcp-server (depending on how qmail-smtpd
is started) doesn't set the RELAYCLIENT variable.
I assume you need the later. Do not set it unconditionally, only
for client for which you do want to relay. See FAQ 5.4

yeah, i felt the same the first time i saw it :-)
The solution depends on what you want and need. Easy one:
a) logins throw the normal UNIX services (/etc/passwd, shadow,
unmodified checkpassword). For example bob:
Create ~bob/.qmail-default containing a single line,
./Maildir/
chown that to bob,
and "maildirmake ~bob/Maildir".
Do the same for the other users (write a script for that).
Mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" will not work, you need to
create ~bob/.qmail for that.
b) /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:bob
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:bob
If all mails for domain.example are supposed to go to bob
then use:
domain.example:bob
c) add domain.example to rcpthosts
d) do not add domain.example to locals.
See FAQ 3.2 and 3.3. See the qmail-send manual page for a detailed
description of the virtualdomains file.
Using the users/assign mechnism isn't hard either, but somewhat more
complicated, and scales better. There are some packages available to
handle that for you, see www.qmail.org
