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.
