As I recall it, the -f-is-evil thing came about because some things
(MMDF?  it's been too long) ceased to work if sendmail was run with
-f.  This sort of thing was an issue with MH at one point too.

Why not just turn the warnings off entirely then?  IIRC you just have
to take authwarnings out of the PrivacyOptions (or disable
PrivacyOptions entirely).
