Perhaps you could try this:
-make the domain virtual. For instance, "dom.net:virtuser1" in
virtualdomains.
-have .qmail files in ~virtuser1 to handle the "real" users, if any:
~virtuser1/.qmail-joe contains "/home/virtuser1/Mail/joe/" or similar.
This could be a vmailmgr domain perhaps?
-have ~virtuser1/.qmail-default to handle all the fax numbers.
You can then refer to $DEFAULT in a script to get the original mail
address (fax number). `man qmail-command` and `man dot-qmail` for
details.
