.qmail file is your answer.

I'm not sure how vpopmail delivers to the virtual users as I use 
vmailmgr, but I'm sure it's pretty much the same. vmailmgr has a program 
that it uses to deliver to the virtual domains so you can setup a .qmail 
file to send the message all over the place then onto it's original 
destination.

As per your example, my .qmail file would look like this :

Filename : .qmail-test
Contents :
test2 at test.com
|/usr/bin/vdeliver

Look in the 'home' directory of the domain recieving all the mail for 
your domain, and you should see a .qmail-default file.  Inside that file 
will be the instructions on how vpopmail delivers.
