I've this in my TODO file since months: ``make umask an option?''.  But
I never decided to implemented it, so currently, as the documentation
states, ``qconfirm directories can be shared across dot-qmail files of
the same user.''

You could handle your domain through qmail's control/virtualdomains
instead of control/locals, so that all messages to this domain are
handled by a single uid.  Use qconfirm-conf with the same qconfirm
directory in the .qmail files for all your users, and forward the mail
to the corresponding users at a domain handled through control/locals
with a second delivery instruction.  That should work.
