Quoting from Matthias Andree's mail on Wed, Jan 08, 2003 at 05:09:47PM +0100:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T

will expand to:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -oem -f 'from-address' 'to-address'

Rah. This stupid -oem thing is still around. Kill it. Now.

Its still there in the manpage! I just used it for testing.

Yes, it is. IMHO it needs to be killed. Fetchmail must bounce the mail
itself if the "MDA" program catches a signal or exits with a non-zero
exit code.

=====================================
-m <command> | --mda <command>
    ...
    Some possible MDAs are "/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -oem -f %F
    %T", "/usr/bin/deliver" and "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
    (but the latter  is  usually  redundant  as  it's what SMTP
    listeners normally forward to).
