Here's the thing, Charles is absolutely correct about where the .qmail 
for a vpopmail-style user's official .qmail file is. The file you're 
talking about isn't parsed by qmail, it's parsed by vpopmail---so it may 
have limitations that qmail does not have (it's normally used to specify 
a vacation message or a forwarding address, by vpopmail).

Possibly. Check the vpopmail documentation. Ask the vpopmail mailing 
list. Do the usual google search.

There's a simpler way. Check out simscan from inter7.com---you can use 
it to specify on a per-user basis whether or not to throw away email 
based on it's spamassassin score.
