The problem is, if the delivery is done via ~alias, it's done with
the permissions of the user alias, which is not allowed to write
/home/tom/Mailbox

Whether it's done via ~alias/.qmail-tom depends on entries in /etc/passwd
and/or /var/qmail/users/assign.

However the line

@400000003b056f360ee85a54 starting delivery 1357: msg 224842 to local 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

indicates that the problem is not with the user tom, but delivery to
user "root", which is handled by ~alias/.qmail-root (under permissions
of user "alias").

Replace in that file (I assume!!)
    /home/tom/Mailbox 
with
    &tom
and it will probably work.
