Sorry I'm confused. If your mail server is setup for control of a domain (e.g. domain.tld), then what stops someone from putting postmaster@domain.tld in this .qmail file?

People can put whatever they want in their own .qmail files. That doesn't affect anything unless qmail believes those .qmail files are relevant to what it's delivering. A user controls .qmail files for a domain if and only if an admin has configured qmail to delegate that domain to that user.
Ahh I see. So it's a per domain thing, and you can't restrict more granularly. That's a shame.
I haven't experienced a need for more granular restrictions. Can you give an example of a problem it would solve?
