If you're using svscan, then "svc -d /service/<servicename>" will do the
trick. If you installed according to "Life with qmail", then the command
would be

It looks like somehow a Maildir delivery instruction is being confused for a
forwarding directive -- I don't quite understand how this is happening.

This is one of your problems -- "chicken.splat.or.jp" should be in rcpthosts.
It's not the main one, though.

Did you intend to create some virtualdomains? If so, you misnamed the file.
qmail will ignore this file.
Post an exact copy of the script you use to start qmail -- the one that
actually calls qmail-start. We need to see what you're supplying as an
argument to qmail-start -- if that argument is read from a file, post the
contents of that file as well.
Don't re-type any of this; copy and paste it.

That's fine (although you didn't show the line which tells what envelope
recipient qmail is trying to deliver to).

This is due to chicken.splat.or.jp not being in locals -- but qmail-showctl
showed that it was. Did you remember to restart qmail after changing locals?
