Did you just do this in your .qmail file?

.qmail-test
test at test.com
test2 at test.com

If you did that, then yes you will get an infinite loop.  This is why 
you have to use the program that actually delivers the message to the 
vuser's directory (mbox, maildir, etc.), and not actually send the 
message again.

.qmail-test
test2 at test.com <-- injects the mail into the queue for delivery
|/usr/bin/vdeliver <-- writes the original message to the vuser's mail
                        box, skipping injection into the queue
