The envelope recipient ("RCPT TO:") is what qmail mostly cares about.
The normal message headers are fluffy bits of superfluous information
that could help it detect a mail loop.
Your message appears to have had a "To:" header of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
(forged) and an envelope recipient of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (not forged)
or maybe even some other address that aliases itself to kurt.

Why would your server bounce it in the first place? Fix that!
