My error.  I did not read your request carefully enough.  The "From: "
header is entirely under the control of your MUA (mutt, pine, mailx,
etc).  The envelope "from " header is controlled via your MTA (qmail, in
this case) and can be controlled either by using the sendmail wrapper
with a "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or setting some environment variables
before calling qmail-inject.
