I understand your question like this:
You want qmail to handle all local deliveries for mycompany.pf, with
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> being an exception.
Solution: Make sure you don't have a user account called "jean" on your
qmail server. Then put the address <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in
"~alias/.qmail-jean", so qmail will forward mail for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I'm assuming that your ISP will also accept mail for
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and be able to put it into jean's POP mailbox. Jean can
use his/her existing address, and everyone's happy.
This should work, but if it doesn't, we'll try and look for another
solution. Remember to address further queries not only to me, but to the
list too, because other cleverer people may have a better solution.
