Hmmm. You don't need to do that.

That won't work. Real/local users override anything else.

Change your config: drop fastforward entirely (you don't need it; its only
real purpose is to ease the transition from sendmail to qmail on an existing
system). Then, if you want to forward messages sent to <foo@...>, <bar@...>,
and <baz@...> to <qux@remote.example.net>, put "&qux" into each of these
files:
/var/qmail/alias/
.qmail-foo
.qmail-bar
.qmail-baz
and put "&qux@remote.example.net" into /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-qux .
