Add the domain to ~qmaild/controls/virtualdomains, "virtual.com:user".
Create ~user/.qmail-user that contains a delivery recipe.
Kill qmail-send and wait for any existing outgoing SMTP sessions
to timeout or complete, may take a while.
Start qmail-send.

I didn't find a way to map an entire domain to another domain.

The virtual domain mechanism requires .qmail-something files in
the users home directories.  Mail addressed to user@virtual.com is
translated to user-virtual@RealDomain.com.  Qmail looks for
~user/.qmail-virtual and uses that as a startup file.  The
.qmail-virtual file contains a delivery recipe of some sort.

The .qmail-* scheme is powerfull.  Users can run mailing lists with
no assistance from the system administrator.  Mail to user-biglist
is delivered based on the contents of ~user/.qmail-biglist. :-(

I set up qmail a few weeks ago and ran it for a day.  I had it
running in an hour.  All of the above is from memory. I am not a
qmail expert.
