Try $EXT instead. (The manual page for qmail-command lists several more
variables that may be useful in other situations.)

Yes:
# set up the forwarding instruction
echo '| forward "$EXT2@remotedomain"' > ~alias/.qmail-domain-default
# tell qmail where to find it
echo domain:alias-domain >> /var/qmail/control/virtualhosts
svc -h /service/qmail
# allow messages to be received
echo domain >> /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
I've not tested this, but I think it should work. (Except for the domain
names, of course!)
Of course you can avoid all this if the remote server is configured
to accept mail for the original domain: then you can just change DNS.
hope this helps,
