The "From " line contains a direct copy of the envelope's sender
address, which by definition of RFC821 should contain a path back to
the sender.  If you don't like the RFC822 Source Route format, try
forcing all local envelope addresses through rule S19 of the IDA
Sendmail.mc file.  This will convert them into !-paths, but still keep
the whole route there.

Ie. change the Mlocal mailer to use S=19/0 in the mailer defintion.

Hope this helps,
