Comment (by SirLouen):

 Yes, that is the problem with a weakly configured qmail instance
 http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#anonymous
 (Plus the fact that Qmail doesn't accept the `-t` from the PHP mail
 instance and PHPMailer doesnt really provide a workaround for this).

 Ultimately we can argue that with a forced `Sender`, we could solve this.
 The problem is that there is the damned "it-blows-everything-report-
 without-test-info" [38286] rev is the a major hindrance to pass this
 (because we could always argue that with a workaround like the one you are
 using to pass the Sender it can get through, but if it the command blows
 servers in the unknown world of uncertainty, there is no workaround apart
 from removing forced `Sender`)

 I've been trying to setup a qmail instance since last night, but it's
 being a nightmare. Docs are good, but they are extremely long to digest.
