Incorrect. -f sets the envelope sender, aka the return path or return
address. Bounces are sent to the return address, not replies.

Sounds to me like you want to set the Reply-to header. Or set your From
header correctly in the first place. However, you also need to make
sure that your envelope sender is set correctly (for personal mail, it
should usually be set to the same address as in the From header) --
otherwise you won't get bounces.
