I don't use virtual users, only domains (in control/virtualdomains;
the virtual users are controlled by qmail files under the user
directory that control/virtualdomains associates with that domain);
but your example doesn't seem to depend on them. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a
virtual user, but you say that joe is a *real* user, and that there is
no joe user defined for domain2 (either as a virtual user in
control/virtualdomains.com, or as a user in the virtual domain
controlled by a ~domain2/.qmail-joe file, where "~domain2" should be
the home directory of the user controlling your virtual domain2). Um,
there isn't a ~domain2/.qmail-default that forwards to local user joe
by any chance is there?
Short of the things listed above, or anything I've overlooked :-),
this shouldn't happen; if it happens for you, something is
misconfigured, or your test isn't testing what you're thinking. I'm
user ddb on this system. I host a virtual domain mnstf.org, in which
there is no user ddb. When I send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it bounces,
as shown below:
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at dd-b.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
--- Below this line is a copy of the message.

(One complication; I'm user ddb, but I also receive email as
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and that's my standard from: and envelope from. ddb is
my actual local username, though, so [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the proper
analogy to your [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
