Good point there. That's probably the fastest
solution right now, but there should be a "cleaner" way that I'm most likely
missing.
Thanks!

Not sure if this will work, but you can try:
Create a pop account for the user you're looking to bounce
mail for, then in that users directory, create a .qmail file
with:
| /path/to/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
May not be the best way, but it may work..
