It may be less confusing in this case to skip config-fast and set up
the control files yourself (which is all config-fast does). Check out
the qmail-control man page to see where to find info about each file.
The ones config-fast sets up are control/{locals,rcpthosts} (affecting
all incoming mail), control/{defaultdomain,plusdomain} (affecting
locally incoming mail), and control/meme (used as a default for
several other files). The first four should be fairly
straightforward; I'm not sure what would be best for you to put in
control/me. You might just create all the other control files - that
way, control/me will never be consulted, and you'll make sure each
file contains something appropriate for its particular purpose.
