What this means is that messages received for addresses of the form
prefixrest will run as user user, with the specified uid and gid,
and the file directory/.qmaildashprependrest will specify how the
messages are to be delivered.
So, using your example, mail to gv-foo will be handled by
/usr/local/squid/bin/.qmail-gvfoo.
