----P.S.----
also please remember that users/assign method is not suitable
for us since - for many reasons (our auto-hosting software) -
we have to use system accounts
at: http://www.pgregg.com/projects/qmail/single-uid-howto.php

"If you want to use system accounts do not read this document - it may
lead you in the wrong direction."

so we need one simple thing: qmail should respect what is in global
aliases.cdb file used by fastforward
means if there is configured alias (or catch-all) in one domain
it should sent messages to user pointed to this alias - not to
real user
if this can't be done, then handling aliases in fastforward/qmail duo
are worse than in Zmailer... (brrr..)
----P.S.----
Keith,
Thanks, but I was moved to qmail from Zmailer with large aliases list,
(it worked on Zmailer without any problem) and this is the reason why
now I'm using this shortcut (aliases -> aliases.cdb and fastforward)
instead of any "native" qmail technology so I need an advice on
how to do that with this set of tools...
