We have a similar problem here. I large site, with numerous perl forms 
was moved over here from a sendmail server on another ISP. The 
form-generated messages used to show as coming from 
'webmaster@<domain.com>', but now they show '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' 
as the reply-to. I.e. the hostname of the server gets inserted. If this 
is not controllable in qmail, perhaps someone on this list can direct 
me to the proper source.
