Well, I had a chance to look at this.  There is no way that I can see
to use fastforward with TMDA.  The forwarding database does not handle
extension addresses which are necessary for senders to reply to TMDA's
confirmation requests.  The messages will be bounced with the error

The setforward program doesn't provide a wildcard syntax and the
fastforward program does not search for wildcards.  It looks only for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED], then @$HOST and finally either $DEFAULT@
or [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If those exact addresses are not found in the database, the
mail is bounced with the error "Sorry, no mailbox here by that
name. (#5.1.1)".
