thanks for the reply. *sigh* well, we made a workaround.
/usr/lib/sendmail -f 'source address' < 'text file'
and for the Subject part, we just put a 'Subject: my subject' at
the top of the message file and sendmail sees it properly, attaching
it to the header.
still, i dont like workarounds and i'd rather know how to turn
that darn thing off via sendmail.cf or m4. i think it's somewhere
near ruleset S0 or S3? where local addresses are re-writted. oh well.
