Thanks Ed, but I already am doing it the way you discribed. The problem 
that I  am facing is header related and cannot be controlled by setting 
ic variables. The ones I have to set are Return-Path and X-UIDL.
Qmail uses the default domain values if mail is sent from localhost. If 
I want to override these values I have to set QMAILHOST, 
QMAILDEFAULTDOMAIN, QMAILDEFAULTHOST and QMAILIDHOST to the domain name 
I am mailing from. If you need more info on this topic, please take a 
short look at http://www.qmail.org/man/man8/qmail-inject.html

Cheers
