No.  -> man qmail-users  and  man qmail-send

The "user" is "ais.cx" other than that qmail-local knows nothing about
users in this case.
"+ais.cx-" is a wildcard match that tells qmail how to treat "users"
starting with the string
    ais.cx-
This user is defined via virtualdomains.
    ais.cx:ais.cx
This tells qmail that all email addressed to
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(this does NOT include e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) is under control of the
user "ais.cx" and this user is defined via the users mechanism.

If you have properly set up real users u2, u3 on that machine it would
also work putting
   &u2
   &u3
in .qmail-default and you could also use a different file for
.qmail-info. This is due to the fact that on unqualified addresses
(and &u2 is one) qmail/control/me will be appended and therefor it will 
be delivered locally to the user  u2@<me>
This will NOT work if you put &[EMAIL PROTECTED] there, unless there exists
a proper .qmail-u2 in the virtdomain directory.
