Forgot about that. Actually, in this case it should be safe to put all
three deliveries in .qmail-default:
|fastforward -p alias.cdb
./Unknown/
|bouncesaying "unknown user"

That's either a documentation bug or based on a creative definition of
"follow". If you read farther in the dot-qmail man page you'll find:
ERROR HANDLING
If a delivery instruction fails, qmail-local stops immedi�
ately and reports failure. qmail-local handles forwarding
after all other instructions, so any error in another type
of delivery will prevent all forwarding.

You mean it appears to skip ./Unknown/, right? What Do The Logs Say? (tm)
