My bad.

Apologies to all.

I've read than man time and time again; given this particular site config --
which accepts and delivers mail locally for a handful of domains in
locals -- I had it in my brain that it makes more sense to try user@ before
@host.dom.  Given the order in which the targets are tried, for what I want
to do I would need a separate alias for
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
...

where dom?.com are in locals.

In any case, it's easier to take the "catch alls" out of /etc/aliases, have
fastforward "fall through" if it fails, and put one catch-all in
~alias/.qmail-default

Once again, sorry for wasting yer time.
