Chosen to use Netscape as your MUA.
This is a known problem with Netscape and has nothing to do with
qmail. Normally it isn't a problem as well behaved MUAs will not use the
Sender: field to generate a reply address, but unfortunately some broken
systems do (I don't know off hand which ones they are). If the Sender:
field is not fully qualified, this leads to the local MTA trying to
deliver the message to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
instead of
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
