The -f option sets the envelope sender address only. It has nothing
to do with the From field of the message header.

I suspect this is a bug in qmail-inject. It seems that qmail-inject
blindly takes $QMAILHOST as TOKEN822_ATOM. In your case the type
should be, I think, TOKEN822_LITERAL.

You can replace qmail-inject with new-inject, an experimental new
version of qmail-inject, included in the mess822 package. new-inject
doesn't have the problem you described.
Alternatively, you can apply my _untested_ patch attached below.
This seems to work, but I'm not sure whether this is the right way
to go. Use it at your own risk.
Of course, you could choose to avoid using domain literals in mail
addresses. Is it really necessary?
