That won't work. A script in your .qmail file cannot affect the 
environment of successive delivery instructions. What you *can* do is 
have the script do the delivery. For example, the script could call 
safecat, like so:

     #!/bin/sh
     YOURVAR=something
     safecat /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/$YOURVAR/{tmp,new}

Of course you can call qmail-local, but you probably don't want to do 
that, since (aside from being complicated) qmail-local expects to 
follow delivery instructions from a .qmail file.
