I don't use fastforward so my .qmail-default has just the 2 lines.
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" doesn't exist so I'd expect it to bounce.  It does,
and gets logged, but the bounce message has:

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
unknown user

instead of

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
unknown user

The full headers in the included original message do mention user123, but
how do I get user123 instead of unknown-bounce in the bounce message?

Also, why involve 3 files (.qmail-default, .qmail-unknown-log,
.qmail-unknown-bounce)?  The dot-qmail man page says each line is a
delivery instruction followed in turn.  If I just put this in
.qmail-default:

./Unknown/
|bounecsaying "unknown user"

it does bounce with the actual failed address in the message (user123) but
it doesn't get saved to Unknown.  If each line is executed in turn,
./Unknown/ must have executed before |bouncesaying.  Instead, it appears we
just skip to |bouncesaying.
