Ummm, you can't do that (at least with procmail as non-root).

If I understand it right, you actually can do it with all "recent" sendmails.
It used to be that sendmail would only allow it for "root", but since anybody
can actually do it with a little effort, this "security" wasn't worth much
and was more annoying than anything, so current sendmail allow anyone to
specify the "From " and they just add a little line in the header saying that
the "From " was specified in "an unauthenticated way" (unless you're part of
the trusted users).
