Because qmail runs with the permissions of the user it is delivering to.

You implied that ~alias/.qmail-tom contains /home/tom/Mailbox . Therefore,
if alias is handling this address, user "alias" will be trying to write to
~tom/Mailbox, which won't work.
However, user "tom" should override alias, unless you're using virtualdomains
to do this or something. Post the output of `qmail-showctl` (unedited) and we
might be able to help you further. It might be as simple as changing your
~alias/.qmail-tom file to contain a forwarding directive.
