You can't have multiple remote-machine specifications, even if they
refer to the same machine.  The only thing you can do is to use
wildcards that get remote-expanded (by the remote shell) or copy
entire directories.  For instance:

rsync -e ssh source-box.xxxxx.com:/var/qmail/control/file\? /var/qmail/control
