That should work, as long as myfilter and tomaildir behave properly.
But it won't take effect when a .qmail file is found for a particular
local address. The defaultdelivery gets passed from qmail-start to
qmail-lspawn to qmail-local. qmail-local looks for a .qmail file and,
if none is found, it slaps defaultdelivery into place and pretends
that it found a .qmail file containing defaultdelivery. qmial-local
uses it exactly as it would use the contents of the .qmail file. It
can contain multiple delivery instructions, one per line, if you like,
just as a .qmail file can.

Yes, it has to be passed as a single argument.
