How do you survive in the same company as someone so clueless? (nevermind)
Using the From header (as opposed to the environment From) in particular
is utterly stupid - you would have to receive a larger part of the message
before you deny access.
See FAQ 5.5 for a way.

Should be possibly and quite easy, but i will not let a web server
touch my mails. Especially without any authentication ...

To only piece of qmail which doesn't log _extensively_ is qmail-smtpd.
The remainder of the qmail system - qmail-send and so on - log
everything you might want, as soon as qmail has taken reponsibility
for the delivery of the message.
