You're correct that the rcpthosts file would be a linear scan, but
qmail-smtpd also supports morercpthosts, converted to a cdb file
via the qmail-newmrh command. The manpage for qmail-smtpd offers:

Put your 50 most commonly used domains into rcpthosts, and the
rest into morercpthosts

Is there a part of your problem not satisfied via use of the
morercpthosts and the qmail-newmrh command?

Thanks a lot.

One more doubt: what about "locals" file ? Does it have a program to
build a cdb database file ?

Thanks again

In that case I'd recommend a single wildcard line in the virtualdomains
file. There is no cdb equivalent to locals or virtualdomains.

May you show me what text as wildcard should work ?

Thanks

The qmail-send manpage, under the virtualdomains section, has examples:

virtualdomains may contain wildcards:

.fax:uucp-fax
:alias-catchall
.nowhere.mil:joe-foo-host

As best as I understand your circumstances, the middle example is
what you want.

If this causes you to ask further questions, please follow-up by
describing the problem you're having, in detail, to include the
behavior you are getting vs the behavior you expect, and if possible
error messages you receive. This will demonstrate to us that you are
trying to solve your problem, by showing us your work.
