Carsten,

It depends a great deal on your setup.  I'll describe the answer for a
generic setup now:

A) favorite.net is in /var/qmail/control/locals
B) there is no UNIX user "martin.buber"
C) you want to forward "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You create a the following file:

~alias/.qmail-martin:buber
==============================
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

        - - - -

OK, notice that any "." in a username becomes a ":" in a filename.  This
disambiguates filesystem "."s from email address "."s, since "." has a
special meaning in a filesystem context.

Now, you can use an ampersand, or nothing as the first character of the
line.

If you have a more specific question, please ask.  Also check out the Life
with Qmail page.  It's excellent documentation.

(Und wenn Sie sich lieber auf Deutsch fragen wollen, fragen Sie bitte.)

-Martin
