See qmail-inject(8) and qmail-control(5) manual pages.

The control files that might be useful for you are /var/qmail/control/me,
/var/qmail/control/defaultdomain, and /var/qmail/control/defaulthost. Also
read about the QMAILDEFAULTDOMAIN and QMAILDEFAULTHOST environment
variables.

(Or setup your hostname to be valid.)

Good luck,
