Try:
$mailprog = "/usr/local/var/qmail/qmail-inject";
open(MAIL, "|$mailprog");

That doesn't look "OK" to me.

Me too. It shouldn't append a host unless one wasn't supplied.

See above. qmail's "sendmail" is just a wrapper for qmail-inject,
which you should call directly.

If you installed qmail according to the directions, you replaced
/usr/lib/sendmail with a link to qmail's "sendmail". That's how it's
"intercepting" your message.
