The makealiases(8) man page tells you:
@domain: user
This special entry results in any recipient address of the
form foo@domain to be rewritten as user-foo@me, where me
is the hostname of the machine, which we expect to be a
local domain.
Therefore, your setting of "@kool.ch:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" results in
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" being rewritten as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]@localhost", which
makes no sense and is not going to accomplish anything.

@kool.ch:koolchowner
Then, in userdb:
koolchowner uid=xxxx|gid=yyyy|home=/home/koolchowner
In /home/koolchowner, .courier-X would then provide mail delivery
instructions for [EMAIL PROTECTED], because [EMAIL PROTECTED] now gets rewritten as
koolchowner-X, and you can pick up the rest of the story in the dot-courier
man page.
