Maybe, but you'll likely be creating more problems than solving.
Even the widely used PINE sets -f.

Personally, I don't know what the big deal is.  If you don't like
the warning sendwhale issues, use postfix.  

Another alternative for either MTA is to invoke it as
/usr/lib/sendmail -bs, then talk SMTP to it.  This takes advantage
of a local queue that at times might be desirable, yet dispenses
with the -f issue altogether.  I believe PINE can do this as well.
