Is this file in ~alias or in ~ttk? If you created it in ttk's home directory,
it should be called .qmail-default, not .qmail-ttk-default. If you created it
in ~alias and there is a user ttk on your system, then
~alias/.qmail-ttk-default will never be consulted (I suspect that this is your
problem).

Probably because you have a user called ttk on your system, and you created
this .qmail file in ~alias. It's never consulted because the user ttk exists.
But if all you want to do is forward all mail addressed to something
@ttk-lig.com to another server, you might want to try listing ttk-lig.com in
rcpthosts only--not in locals or virtualdomains--and then putting:
ttk-lig.com:192.168.100.1
in smtproutes.
