Robert,

For my education, could you explain this part of the patch a bit more?
Doesn't sendmail provide a sensible default envelope sender even without
the -f option? What problems were you seeing that this change solves?
BTW, I'm not a /usr/sbin/sendmail expert, so feel free to point out if
it's blindlingly obvious!

As an aside, I notice that TMDA's tmda-sendmail script (intended as a
drop-in replacement for /usr/sbin/sendmail) completely ignores the -f
option...
