I really think all this .qmail processing that is being discussed 
really should be done through some kind of valias processing structure 
that accommodates both cdb (.qmail) and sql (no .qmail) environments.  
That's what the valias binary does.  Once that's in place, all the same 
logic would apply.  But it seems like the sooner it is moved to that 
structure, the better if there is any plan to support valiases.
