I have no idea where your mail was before - I'm afraid you didn't  
bother to tell us.

I don't use qmail, but if I look at the HOWTO you followed, I see that  
you've set this up already:

    Code Listing 2.3: Setting up non-root account for mail
    # cd /var/qmail/alias
    # echo vapier > .qmail-root
    # echo vapier > .qmail-postmaster
    # echo vapier > .qmail-mailer-daemon

Thus all mail will be delivered to your vapier@××××××××××.com mailbox.  
You can probably change this by putting bobsmith@×××××.com in  
the .qmail-postmaster file.

If the mail isn't being delivered to you, then best guess is that the  
cron system isn't actually set up to deliver it to you. If you use  
qmail's replacement for the sendmail command to `sendmail postmaster <  
Alice\ in\ Wonderland.txt`, is the message delivered?
