Show us what the qmail logs says. You posted an extract of the
qmail-smtpd log, which isn't useful here. qmail will log enough
information for you to tell exactly what happened to every message.

You've got some major misconfiguration here -- you did not follow "Life
with qmail" to the letter, or this wouldn't be happening. I suggest you
start over from scratch, and follow it exactly.

Are you sure you want /var/spool/mail delivery? qmail really works
better with $HOME/Maildir delivery. That also lets you use qmail-pop3d.

Unnecessary. You only need ~alias/.qmail-* files for system aliases
(like postmaster, root, abuse, etc).
Re-install and re-configure, following "Life with qmail" a little more
precisely. I said this a few days ago, and it's worth repeating:
installing qmail isn't an "Oh, it's close enough" kind of thing.
