But that way I am just creating an alias, right ?
Because I can“t create a new forward with the same name of an already
existent account.
With sendmail I was able to create an alias with the same name of an
existent user (and even forward it to the same-name user). That was how I
did the mail-copying : i create the user, an alias with the same name, and
then forwarded the alias to the user (with the same name) and the
mailmaster repository.

With Qmail I don't know how to do this easily
