Try looking in the virtaldomains file:
5.3 How does incoming email get handled?
http://www.vmailmgr.org/docs/FAQ.html
"Incoming email is first received by the qmail SMTP daemon and inserted
into the qmail queue. Then `qmail-send' examines the email envelope (which
details the recipient address or addresses) to determine how to dispatch
the message. It looks up the domain name of each recipient in
`/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains', and prefixes the user name with the
string that it finds. It then looks up the resulting user name in the
system password table (or in `/var/qmail/users/cdb' if it exists) to find
the base user name and home directory (which I will call `$HOME'). It then
looks for the file `$HOME/.qmail-VIRTUAL'. If that's not found, it looks
for the file `$HOME/.qmail-default', which will contain an instruction to
pipe the message to `vdeliver'."
