There was a specific and good reason why I chose to just 'pass' on
tmda-sendmail -f, but I can't recall what it is at the moment.  Keep
in mind though that it's been that way for 5 years and no one has had
a problem with it, so I don't think it's a bug.  

This is a separate issue than your tmda-ofmipd patch though, which
does correctly fix a bug.  With your patch, the sendmail behavior with
pure proxy correctly matches Util.sendmail() which tmda-inject uses.
I guess many people don't use pure proxy so this wasn't caught for
awhile.
