Regarding the problem with incorrect 'From:' headers:

After a bit more consideration, it seems to me that the best solution (for 4.2
sites, that is, but I suppose they suffer most) would be to force sendmail to 
use the contents of the 'From ' line for the 'From:' line, too. (BTW, that is 
the same as the value of the -f argument, when sendmail is called by rmail.)

This would simply mean that sendmail should replace an existing 'From:' line
with it's own idea of a correct one. However, I can't find any way to make it
do this (by means of configuration, that is...). Add or delete headers, sure,
but not replace. Anyone got a clue?
