Package: emacs-snapshot
Version: 1:20050901-1
Severity: normal

from /usr/share/emacs/22.0.50/lisp/gnus/message.el:

;; message-sendmail-f-is-evil is nil here in the upstream source, but
;; sendmail works right under Debian Linux, so we want t. [was
;; orignally reported for emacs 19 as debian#7051]
(defcustom message-sendmail-f-is-evil t
  "*Non-nil means don't add \"-f username\" to the sendmail command line.
Doing so would be even more evil than leaving it out.
Under Debian/GNU/Linux, sendmail works right, so it should be safe for
this to be set to true."

This is a wrong argument.  When -f is evil, an administrator can forbid
it at MTA level (and must do so because his users can use other tools).
But those who are trusted for -f should be able to send from addresses
they want without several initial faults.  This variable is intended to
be set true only for those version of sendmail which work WRONG.
