Then I have my ~alias/.qmail-default look like this:
| forward "$LOCAL"@bar.com
The "$LOCAL" is an environment variable that holds the user part of the email recipient.
My ~alias/.qmail-default looks like this: forward "$LOCAL"@mail.foo.com
this was ok since i had only two pop accounts which were not local and could be forwarded from user@mail.foo.co to user@foo.com
However, now I use a system similar to yours. I have another domain
pointing to the same IP on my hosted/colocated server, so user@foo.com is also user@bar.com in my setup. This is different from your setup in that no manual forwarding has been done. Every POP box on my server >can
recieve mail for every domain hosted on it. abc@foo.com == >abc@bar.com == abc@xyz.com.
Do you create pop accounts for all users which are not local, on bar.com or do the mails synchronise automatically. This is because i have around 100 pop accounts which are not local.

There is no "synchronisation" happening. Quite simply, foo.com and bar.com are just regular domains on my server. Neither is setup as a virtual domain with any specific forwarding instructions for mail. It is exactly as i explained - user@foo.com /is/ user@bar.com. And yes, user@foo.com (or @bar.com) is a POP account for each user. However, it need not be this way. user@bar.com may well be an alias to multidrop@bar.com, which would really be multidrop@foo.com so you don't need separate POPs for each user.
