Actually, the MTA should only have to add Recieved: headers and shouldn't
munge anything else. It's a sendmail-ism to rewrite tons of headers during
message transfer.
The proper place to set the From: header and envelope sender is in the User's
MUA. qmail makes it very easy for those users to do so, by setting a few
environment variables or by supplying arguments to qmail-inject.
If you have to do this in the MTA, you could set up an @fixme virtual domain
which has a .qmail file which calls the appropriate header-rewriting
commands (such as djb's msg822 package) and re-injects. Then just set
RELAYCLIENT to "@fixme" in your rules file for qmail-smtpd.

Check out 'rblsmtpd', included in the ucspi-tcp package by qmail's author,
djb. There's a page describing it at:
