If memory serves me right this is caused by a '-t' switch in the commandline 
that is not working for qmail ... 

Check  <icroot>/lib/Vend/Util.pm
for the following:
open(MVMAIL,"|$Vend::Cfg->{SendMailProgram} -t") or last SEND;
and change it to:
open(MVMAIL,"|$Vend::Cfg->{SendMailProgram} ") or last SEND;
