You really need to read *ALL* of the qmail documentation. This is one
bitch I have about ports.. you don't have to read, you just say "make".
Now, having said that, you need to think again what ~alias means.
One of the steps in the port 'make install' is to add a set of qmail
users to your system.. what might one of them be? Bingo! "alias".
Look for that user and find it's home DIRECTORY (ain't no "folders" on
a UNIX system).
As for .qmail-default in each users's home directory, please read the
qmail documentation.
