why do you use fastforward to forward the Emails then? if the servers
inside the firewall are of the format YYY.blah.com and the mail is infact
destined for [EMAIL PROTECTED] then use smtproutes. if it is a single
domain that you split to departmental mail servers, I sugest using a
fastforward file for the flat aliases, and a .qmail-aliasname-default for
aliases that may have extensions.

you heard wrong. : is used in .qmail filenames to replace dots (some
security reason, forgot right now)
also, I don't believe "@hostname" as the right parameter is a legal
format.
what you want:
cd ~alias
echo "| forward $[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > .qmail-noc
ln -s .qmail-noc .qmail-noc-default
