+AD4-Ok. Lets say A in New York is sending Mail to B me+AEA-mydomain.de here in
Binau
+AD4-(Germany) and on my mailserver for mydomain.de I have configured an alias
+AD4-(forwarding) from me+AEA-mydomain.de to annother address in Tokio
+AD4-he+AEA-anotherdomain.jp (C)
+AD4-
+AD4-The question is if the mail travells from New York to Binau and then from
+AD4-Binau to Tokio, causing twice the traffic on my internet-connection

Yes it is.

You may want to simply give it the Tokyo address in the page/function that
is sending it to you. Or do your traffic by websites (making a reference to
a file but not sending it in the email). I encourage my customers to use
alternative means of transport than SMTP for files over 1.5 meg because
various systems have limits. I encourage them to put the files up on their
website.
