set qmail to forward some isp users to local accounts

Hi,

is it possible to tell qmail to forward (dunno if it's the
right word) mail to some users to some local accounts ?

For example:

If local user jdoe sends a mail to foo.bar@myisp.com qmail, delivers
it to local account fbar, however, every other mail to *@myisp.com
will normally be sent out.

I've already tried to put myisp.com in virtualdomains and rcpthosts,
and that *partially* works, but, every other mail to myisp.com gets
bounced.

TIA

Use virtual *user* entries in virtualdomains, e.g.:

foo.bar@myisp.com:fbar

And make sure fbar has either a .qmail-foo:bar or .qmail-default file
to catch the messages.
