No, it's rejecting your envelope sender.

Set the envelope sender to something the outside world can see.
3 ways to do that, all outlined in the qmail-inject manual page:
1. set QMAILSUSER and QMAILSHOST
2. use the -f option
3. put a Return-Path field in your message header
Personally, I use the first option, since that doesn't rely on the
good graces of my mail client.
In case you wonder what the difference between the header sender
(i.e., your From field) and the envelope sender is, the header sender
is used for replies (unless overridden by Reply-To or Mail-Reply-To),
and the envelope sender is used for bounces &c. They can be the same
address, but they don't have to be.
