You *can* fix it so that mail works that way, but I'm not sure that
it's worth the effort.

Easiest way is to set .../control/defaulthost. qmail will
automatically set the From: header and the envelope sender to be the
username followed by contents of .../control/defaulthost. If your MUA
is already inserting a From: header, you could either tell it not to,
or else tell qmail-inject (via its environment variables) to discard
the incoming From: and make up one corresponding to the login to the
user.
