No, sendmail passes anything you configure it to pass. In the definition
of the local mailer you tell it which program to run and what its
arguments should be. So if the delivery agent wants the envelope
information (in argv), it can have it.

I tell my sendmail to call procmail with -f sender, so in this case
procmail gets the envelope sender. What procmail uses this information
for is up to procmail. Perhaps it would be useful to be able to fetch
it in a procmailrc file?
