    $SENDMAIL -oi destination_user(_at_)destination(_dot_)domain

might work better.  This will give the message a couple of headers,
though: an "Apparently-To: destination_user..." and possibly either a
"From: " or "Sender: " -- and certainly "Return-Path: " (of whoever is
running procmail).

The Apparently-To: header may, or may not, appear in a message, depending on
the NoRecipientAction option, set in sendmail.cf. But the Apparently-To:
header is non-standard and is deprecated.

You can override the Return-Path by running sendmail with the -f option.
Mind you, that -f can only be used by "trusted users" (defined, also in
sendmail.cf,) or if the person you are trying to become is the same as the
person you are.

When running sendmail with the -f option, take into account the
PrivacyOptions too; if they contain "authwarnings", the override attempt
will be made known in the headers.
