OK a further question about this...  Even if the domain did
not properly 
match the new accounts, shouldn't the new account settings
default to 
the . domain?  This is what I would expect the  domain
is for, as a 
catch-all for accounts that don't match any defined domain
settings, but 
this does not seem to be happening either.

Yes, that's how it works--mail addressed to recipients that
can't match
specific users default to the domain default (if a matching
domain
exists), or to the system default (if no matching domain
exists).  They
should fall through to the "." account.

That said, the default configuration for Maia doesn't cache
or
quarantine any mail for the "." account, since that
mail is assumed to
be addressed to non-local recipients, i.e. outbound mail. 
If you want
outbound mail filtered (and therefore cached and
quarantined), you need
to go to the System Configuration page and set the
"Should the System
Default user (.) only catch mail for local
recipients?" toggle to "No".
