I would really like to know what the heck MAILHOST and friends are doing.

It was stated that MAILHOST does not set the envelope sender.  Well, I did
the following experiment

$ export MAILHOST=oki.doki  
$ export QMAILINJECT=f
$ echo '|echo $SENDER > hosttest.out' .qmail-hosttest
$ echo|mail mw-hosttest
$ cat hosttest.out 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

So it is supposed to effect the envelope sender.  But then I start
Emacs from the same shell, send a message as

To: mw-hosttest
Subject: test
--text follows this line--
test

and I get 

$ cat hosttest.out 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Setting QMAILSHOST has the same effect---nothing.

The only way I can change the domain part of the envelope sender's
address for Emacs, if I put oki.doki in defaulthost.

What is going on?

Mate
