You can put delivery instructions in ~/.qmail (see man dot-qmail for more info).
Also, in /var/qmail/rc, the default delivery is specified.

That is correct. qmail will NEVER deliver to root. You should create a .qmail-root
file in /var/qmail/alias (or wherever user alias lives with your particular qmail
RPM).
