Yep. See /var/qmail/doc/PIC.local2alias. alias will get control of mail only if
a user account doesn't exist.

I don't know, and couldn't tell you without looking at your whole setup. But if
there's an account called "mail" and there's nothing in users/assign that says
otherwise, ~alias/.qmail-mail won't do anything. If it works in your case, then
something isn't exactly as you described.
