Comment (by SirLouen):

 The question i'm thinking is: why you are adding to the `sendmail_path`
 the `-f`?

 Technically you should only configure something like:
 {{{
 sendmail_path = "/srv/fakesendmail/fakesendmail.sh"
 sendmail_from = "php.ini at example.test"
 }}}

 The `sendmail_path` is used
 [https://www.php.net/manual/en/mail.configuration.php#ini.sendmail-path to
 specify the path] with arguments without the `from`. If you add the `-f`
 there you are screwing everything up.
