I don't support that. You can use a ruleset to produce the "Outgoing Queue
Dir" to separate messages into different queues, but that's all. If you
have a setup where corresponding qf/df/xf sets are all in the same
directory, but there are several of these directories, then you can use
wildcards in the setting of "Incoming Queue Dir" or specify multiple paths.

But the qf/df/xf triplet all have to be in the same directory.

As long as the messages end up in the same directory, you can do it. So you
can, for example, split messages so they have only 1 recipient per message.
This is a configuration used by quite a few people.

As above, the qf+df are assumed to be in the same directory.
