Hm. Okay. I don't know much about postfix, but it's sendmail binary 
*should* support the -f flag (and *does*, according to the manual 
http://www.postfix.org/sendmail.1.html).

Ahh, okay, that's fine. Many mail reader programs try and make email 
headers look prettier, and so their output isn't a good way to 
diagnose what might be really going on. To know what's *really* in the 
email, you need the un-modified raw email (what it's called depends on 
your email program).

That could be your problem. Let's see this script.
