This "-f " switch has 2 drawback as well. Sometimes web based email 
treats it as span because, you forcibly mention different Return-path 
than it should be. Check all headers of your mail. You may find 1 header 
in your mail like "X-Authentication-Warning: SERVER NAME: apache set 
sender to bounce at SOMETHING.SOME using -f"

So you should use authenticated user account like root, admin etc. so 
above header will not added with your messages. Please note that you can 
not set return path using headers. so header "Return-path" will not 
yield anything.

Thanks,
