Because mail.com is run by a bunch of weenies, who have somehow
modified their SMTP server (which *was* running just fine until about
1Mar2001) so that it munges the envelope sender. I imagine that
there's a sendmail rule somewhere named "destroy the envelope sender"
that they turned on. Fortunately, you have to work much harder to get
qmail to munge the envelope sender.

Don't do this. I know you have good reasons, but if you aren't
willing to help us by providing full disclosure, don't come asking for
help. Remember: you have a problem, and you don't know where it is.
When you modify information that you think is unrelated to the
problem, you might be wasting our time.
