32. I don't want to bounce emails for non existent users. Instead I want

   The last parameter in the .qmail-default file tells vdelivermail
   what to do with non-matching emails. The default is to bounce
   the email back to the sender. But you can also delete it instead.

   | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox 

   to something like this:
   | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete
