This is not an RFC822 issue; it is rather a matter of RFC821 compliance.
[1] For mail received via SMTP, qmail never sees or parses the RFC822
headers. What qmail sees and complains about is the SMTP envelope
recipient (forward-path). Square bracets are only allowed in the "["
<dotnum> "]" context (cf. RFC821 sect. 4.1.2). qmail is not supposed to
strip them off.
I guess that the remote mail software fails converting its own address
format (as seen in the 822 "To" header field) into an RFC821 recipient
address.
