Hmm. Didn't know that. May work if one supplies only -f and is keen enough to omit the space.
But if one would specify something like
-odq -oMr drweb-scanned -f someone@???
it won't work.
Not that I miss it much.
If our users come up with the problem we set
local_from_check
local_sender_retain
and just tell them to forget about additional_parameters and put everything into the message headers.
If that happens not to be enough, we roll out the php code snippet that effectively
emulates mail() functionality by popen()-ing exim.
Unfortunately our virtual hosting scheme allows such things, so that I'm not motivated enough to fix php instead.
