You probably have an entry in your control/virtualdomains file like
this:
:alias-ppp
which traps _all_ non-local mail and puts it into pppdir. You need to
make an exception to this entry, to tell qmail that "deepthinker.de" is
really remote. Add the following line to control/virtualdomains
deepthinker.de:
and HUP qmail-send. Mails for your friend will go over your wireless
link.
See "man qmail-send" for details of this "exception" feature.
