Not quite; that will try to deliver to an mbox file named "Maildir" in
username's homedir, but as user alias.
Chances are that you want that .qmail file to contain "&username" instead,
which will forward the mail from the long name to the short username.
Then, that user's .qmail file (or the system default delivery specification)
will control the final delivery.
