It's the Hotmail "Inbox protector" feature. If you send mail directly to a Hotmail address with your MUA, the recipient's address shows up in both the envelope, and in the headers of the message (in the To: or cc: header). If instead you have a forward directive going to a Hotmail account, the hotmail address doesn't show up in the To: or cc: headers, and Hotmail accepts but silently drops the message, if the recipient has the "Inbox protector" feature enabled. In short, it's not qmail's fault.
