You seem confused what the .qmail files do. BTW - what is
/home/john/alias? It is a subdirectory of john's home? That's not
the right way. There's a system-wide user called alias, his home is
probably /var/qmail/alias, and .qmail-john:doe should come in THAT
directory.
The "aliases" in home directories would only control the part after
the dash, like "john-sumething" is controlled by
/home/john/.qmail-something (notice no alias subdirectory)

And what do you think is john.doe's password? You should supply
your own checkpassword if you want it to know aliases - or look for
vchkpw(?) package (URL anyone?).

First try to understand how it is supposed to work. And yes,
everything works as documented in qmail, you're not too likely to
find new bugs in basic setups. :-) [I used to be a novice too.]
