ERROR: no appropriate .qmail file exists in "joe-foo" home directory,
for virtual domain "nowhere.mil"

In my situation I have one customer might have multiple domains. They will have
different people responsible for the billing@ addresses for each
domain but they
only have one account on the mail server. Therefore the first domain
might have
/home/joe/.qmail-foo-billing and /home/joe/.qmail-bar-billing and
those two files
have different delivery instructions in them. Some clients have a
-default file
besides the -billing one but the sane ones do not. I'm pretty sure
one even has
a -default for one domain but not the others.
As far as this being an edge case I'm not really sure how else I would do it :)
