For one of my qmail servers, I'm running binaries based on the sources
hosted at Untroubled:

http://untroubled.org/qmail+patches/FEATURES.html

I have one outgoing email message that can't get delivered. I've
inspected the misc files in /var/qmail/queue, and can hence observe
the specifics of the envelope.

The qmail delivery logs show that qmail-send is using a different
address than what is associated with the message. That mail server
is not configured to deliver mail for this other address, and rejects
the email.

I don't see why stock qmail-send, or any of the patches applied in
my case, would introduce this behavior.

That email server (for lists.ltb-project.org) is the only one for
which I've been unable to deliver mail to.

I'd appreciate any advice, even a pointer to a more appropriate
forum.

I'd be happy to supply any other details you consider pertinent.

Some specifics:

My qmail-send log, note the use of 'mail.ltb-project.org':

The fellow running the other mail server shared some logs with me;
here's an example snippet:
