In retrospect, it could be true that the issue is with vpopmail, since my
experiences are based only on both, but only if vpopmail is explicitly
reinjecting the email. If it is instead returning a status that does not
indicate to qmail to stop attempting delivery or whatever, qmail should get
the clue that delivery isn't going to happen after some number of failures
(and that shouldn't be thousands). But since I can't say for sure what is
happening, I will have to withdraw my comment for the moment.
