Some mailing lists use the envelope sender instead of the actual from address,
and this can be broken in git-send-email. This patch sets the -f argument to
the sendmail binary, using the address of the patch author.
At least some MTAs (exim is the one I know for sure) can restrict -f
usage to some users and deny it for others. Don't know how much this
would really be a problem, but using -f unconditionally might be a bad
idea none-the-less.
I thought I saw the '-f' patch somewhere on the list in the last
several weeks and there was a discussion on this topic that
followed the patch. Am I hallucinating, or was it not applied
because there were some issues?

Can't find anything in the archives. So either I completly suck
at searching, or it is at least several months old, or you
are hallucinating :)

Gruesse,
Se the thread starting with the mail

The discussion was about hooks--update, not git-send-mail.
