One is stuck with either
[a] sendmail sets MAIL FROM:<> to yourname@your.actual.host.name, when
f-is-evil is t, which can be seriously suboptimal, or
[b] MAIL FROM:<> gets set to what you like, but the foolish auth
warning gets included in the headers, when f-is-evil is nil.
The right solution would be to get both positive effects, setting the
envelope without creating the warning. As a "favor" to enhance
"security," the warning is a bad joke.
Since I'm the only user of my machines, tweaking the T lines of
sendmail.cf is an acceptable workaround. But it's still Wrong to do
so, philosophically.
