That's Bruce Guenter's qmail distribution.  Don't worry, Bruce wouldn't do
something as stupid as random rewriting in qmail-send ;)

You're running into RFC821-mandated behaviour.  lists.ltb-project.org is a
CNAME for mail.ltb-project.org, so senders *have* to rewrite the recipient
address.

So this looks like a misconfiguration at the receiving site.
