I don't know, I'm not familiar with Qmail and Vpopmail setup.
All I know is that spamd has some extra code to deal with
Vpopmail virtual users, which is enabled by the --vpopmail
command line option to spamd. In absence of this option,
a lookup for a username goes to a system's getpwnam()
function, which obviously does not handle e-mail addresses
with domain part, but expects a plain username.
This can be dealt with by passing just a localpart of
a recipient address as a username in a spamc call.
It is unfortunate that spamd's logging does not distinguish
between four instances for a
"spamd: handle_user unable to find user:"
message, so I can't tell from your posting which of these
four cases failed. I guess this should be improved for 3.4.
