There's one exception to this; when you have masquerading turned on.
I have a (small) mailserver running on my workstation which uses this:
From: info(_at_)workstation(_dot_)address
Even with the "-t" flag, sendmail still rewrites this as
From: info(_at_)masquerade(_dot_)address
I'm strongly considering dropping sendmail completely and moving to
qmail.
