Not to my knowledge. 

If you use qmail together with my previous Spamcontrol patch, you can relax the situation, 

a) in case you have a lot of bounces in the queue

b) you define a 'bouncehost' in control/smtproutes using an entry like that:

 !@:bouncehost.af.mil;27


The strategy is to get rid of particular recipients forwarding those mails to a 2nd qmail instance by means of smtproutes and let this instance handle them. 

This qmail instance can exist on the very same host, just receiving emails from that very same host. 

Once you've setup the second instance, you need to give your first instance a HUP svc -a qmail-send.

I've tried this concept named 'qmail multiple queues' (qmq) successfully in those cases.

Good luck!

Best regards.
