Never dealt with this, so I'd need your help, or someone else using this,
to hash out an answer.

Can you share with us exactly what it puts in the .qmail file?

Well, if the stuff it puts in .qmail is the same stuff we put in .forward,
then it should be a simple change of filename.  This is, unless there is
other stuff in .qmail also that we can't mess with.  

There may also be some config items in qmail you can set?  For example,
courier uses a .courier file, but you can get around this in the following
way:

COURIER NOTES:
--------------
I'm told this module will work okay with courier if you add the line

|| dotforward

to the user's .courier file.  Otherwise courier won't use the .forward file.
So, an example .courier file might contain:

|| dotforward
./Maildir

Maybe there is a similar feature for qmail???
